MCP Died Today...

Photographers, artists, and others received this e-mail yesterday:

Friends,

It is with regret that we must inform you that Minnesota Center for Photography is discontinuing business operations at the close of business on July 31st. Over the past six months we have unsuccessfully attempted to adjust our budget and raise additional funds to pay down debt and fund continuing operations.

The Board made this decision with reluctance and after attempting whatever we could do to permit the survival of MCP.

On behalf of the many stakeholders in Minnesota Center For Photography, we thank you for your continuing interest and support of MCP’s mission over the years.

Very truly yours,

Chuck Koosmann, Co-Chair
Mark L. Wilson, Co-Chair

MCP's mission: To support and promote the creation and appreciation of photographic arts.


I can't believe the Minnesota Center for Photography is gone! It has been such a great photo presence in the cities! I had my first solo show in the Minnesota Project gallery there in 2005. Such memories. It's too bad.
