Parting Gift: Fitting in America by Leonard Suryajaya
2026-02-27 17:00 - 20:00 | The Colorado Photographic Arts Center, 1200 Lincoln Street, Suite 111, Denver, 80203
The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) presents a solo exhibition featuring nationally acclaimed photographer Leonard Suryajaya, and the debut of his newest body of work, Parting Gift: Fitting in America.
Known for his vibrant, elaborately staged portraits—featured in Aperture magazine and exhibited internationally—Suryajaya has quickly become a standout voice in contemporary photography. Living in the U.S. while his family remains in Indonesia, he uses photography to explore distance, belonging, and who is allowed to be seen as family in America today. The result is a series of bold, emotionally charged images that are playful, layered, and deeply human, inviting viewers into scenes where intimacy, identity, and national myths collide.
Opening Reception: Friday, February 27 (5 - 8 pm)
Artist Talk: Saturday, February 28 (1 pm)
All events are free and open to the public
Gallery hours: Tuesday – Friday: 11am – 5pm, Saturday: Noon – 4pm
Presented alongside An Impossibly Normal Life by Matthew Finley.

Alternatives to Suicide is a free, non-judgmental, non-clinical, peer-led, and confidential drop-in space where people can share difficult thoughts and feelings without being assumed to have an illness or be assessed for involuntary intervention.
The phrase, “I feel suicidal” can hold many meanings. Having the space to openly explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences underneath is often helpful in moving towards something different.
These groups are not just for people who are actively suicidal, but for anyone who would benefit from a non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions with a group.
This group is free, welcoming and friendly, and we provide snacks!
For information on accessibility at the building itself, check out this access guide.

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
This weekly discussion group is facilitated by a West of 50 staff member and focuses on dismantling sexual misconceptions and introducing evidence-based topics to help older adults engage in their best sex-positive-selves. The group operates based on important and fundamental concepts about sexuality and ages. Older adults can examine and possibly change the “sexual scripts” they have learned from childhood about to think and behave as sexual people. Many of these scripts are not relevant for older adults. Additionally, sex is more than intercourse. Especially in the later years, individuals can to explore the possibilities of non-penetrative sex, or “outercourse”.
We cover topics such as

Sexual decisions later in life
Good Sex: What Makes it So
Looking for Love Later in Life
Safer Sex Activities for Older Adults
From Problems to Possibilities: Sexuality, Aging, Disability, & Chronic Illness
Bottoming
Nipple play
Bondage & Discipline
Dominance & Submission
Sex History
Oral Sex
