Help Support El Paso's Only Photographers Collaborative

For over three decades, the Photography Enthusiasts of El Paso (PEEP), a registered 501(c)(3) organization, has fostered a vibrant community of photographers. Now, we're embarking on an exciting new chapter: launching El Paso's first-ever photographers' cooperative.

Our Vision

The PEEP Collaborative will serve as a dynamic hub for photographers, artists, and enthusiasts alike. Here's what we have in store:

1. Gallery Space: Imagine a beautifully curated gallery showcasing the diverse talents of PEEP members. From striking landscapes to intimate portraits, our gallery will celebrate the artistry that defines El Paso.

2. Educational Workshops: Knowledge-sharing is at the heart of our mission. The Collaborative will host workshops, seminars, and masterclasses led by seasoned photographers. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there's always something new to learn.

3. Meeting Point: Need a space to collaborate, brainstorm, or discuss creative projects? Look no further. The Collaborative will be a welcoming meeting spot for photographers to connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate.

Why Your Support Matters

El Paso lacks a dedicated photography space within a 160-mile radius. The nearest photo gallery is in Carrizozo, NM, and the closest photography Collaborative is in Albuquerque, NM. By contributing to our campaign, you're helping us bridge this gap and create a vibrant center for visual arts right here in El Paso.

How Your Donation Will Be Used

- Startup Costs: Your generous donation will directly fund the establishment of the Collaborative . From securing a physical location to setting up essential infrastructure, every dollar counts.

- Monthly Expenses: Any surplus funds will be channeled toward covering monthly rentals, utilities, and operational expenses. Our commitment to transparency means that 100% of your donation will be put to practical use.

Here is a very rough breakdown of our first year of expenses:

Join Us in Making History

The PEEP Collaborative is more than just a physical space—it's a testament to our shared passion for photography. As with PEEP itself, the Collaborative will operate entirely on a volunteer basis. Together, we can nurture creativity, inspire future generations, and build a legacy for El Paso's artistic community.

Visit our PEEP Website for more information and updates. Let's turn our vision into reality, one shutter click at a time!
