What is the SPAO PATH?

Have you ever wanted to become a part of the SPAO community, advance your photographic skills, or evolve your artistic career but you don’t know where to start? Have you taken SPAO classes before but don’t know what to take next? Have you ever wondered how far you could advance or where your efforts could take you? We can help answer those questions by introducing the SPAO PATH.

The SPAO PATH is a guide that maps out all of our staple part-time studies classes, including a way to get started, possible directions of where to go next and where your journey could lead.

APEX EXHIBITION

SPAO’S annual juried exhibition and awards is a celebration of our part-time studies community.

Have you taken a part-time class or workshop at SPAO? If so, you’re invited to submit work to the APEX Exhibition (formerly “A+”), our annual contest and exhibition of selected images from SPAO’s continuing education community. Each year we invite members from our part-time studies community to submit their hard work for the chance to be adjudicated by an awards jury composed of industry leaders as well as winning incredible awards with a total value of $5000+.
