CoPA’s 20 th Anniversary
CoPA 2025 Juried Exhibition | Atmosphere

The Coalition of Photographic Arts (CoPA) and NADIANA Art Gallery are proud to unveil a juried exhibition, “Atmosphere”, featuring an evocative collection of photographic works that embody mood, feeling, and the intangible spaces around us. The show will open at the NADIANA Art Gallery, located at 4818 South 76th Street #6, Greenfield, WI 53220, and will run from October 31 through December 19.

An Opening Reception is scheduled for Friday, October 31, beginning at 5:00 PM, followed by comments and awards at 7:00 PM. CoPA members, art enthusiasts, local residents, and media are cordially invited to join this celebration of fine‑art photography. Attendees will have the opportunity to view the works, hear juror commentary, and celebrate the artists behind the images.

Exhibition Theme: “Atmosphere”
Under the exhibition's theme, Atmosphere, participating artists explore the unseen—whether through ethereal moods, emotional resonance, or subtle environmental cues. This focus challenges viewers to perceive what lies beyond the surface—“whether visible to the eye or only discernible as a mood, a vibe or an emotion strongly expressed or engendered”.

Exhibition Highlights
• Juried Works: A selection of thought-provoking photography, chosen through a rigorous juried process. Jurors include Don Mendenhall, Debra Brehmer, and Mark Brautigam.
• Awards Celebration: Recognition of outstanding artistic contributions during the reception.
• Public Engagement: The exhibition is open to all—inviting art lovers, CoPA members, and the media to experience emerging and refined perspectives in photography.


Exhibition Dates: The exhibit will take place between October 31st, 2025, and December 19th, 2025.
Opening Reception: Friday, October 31st, 2025, (5 pm- 8 pm)
