Our Mission

Photographers, such as those represented in The Copperprint gallery, contribute to our appreciation of the visual medium in a way that no other artist can. They bring scenes of beauty, pain, humor, and tragedy together in a single frame, at the right time and place. Their work speaks for itself, reaching out to those who behold them and encouraging them to consider the many different occasions and moments that could never be experienced from any other view.

The mission of The Copperprint is two-fold: first, to promote and curate the works of emerging and established photographers from every conceivable corner of the globe; and second, to contribute to the growth and global accessibility of our photographers and their captured images as a fine art medium – One cannot help but sense a palpable appreciation for the imagery that is so carefully prepared and displayed within these walls.

From the Founder

An Ode to The Copperprint:
Preserving the Art of the Photographic Image

“The world is a beautiful place. From its landscapes to its cities, to its people, every atom and inch of this earth is ripe with color and texture, perspective and opinion. To some, these sights are fleeting and seen with a passing glance. To others, they are preserved in an image forever.

In a time where digital photography collides with what was once considered a “traditional” form of art, The Copperprint manages to provide a glimpse into the art of photography as it was originally intended – be its creation from analog or digitally. We honor the mastery and skill of talented photographers by displaying their works as individual pieces of art, recognizing the hard-earned effort that each image entails.

The Copperprint offers an “Ode to Photography” and its ability to capture the world around us, inviting those who pass by to linger in thought and exploration. Our exhibited collections speaks to the boundless power of photography and the beautiful world it captures.

The Gallery, located in the historic town of Bisbee, Arizona, is a haven for those wishing to do exactly that. It is here that fine art photographers from around the world can come to their creative home – a space dedicated to celebrating their visions and preserving them for generations to come."
