PropertiesJoin CPF for a two-part intermediate-level s eminar focusing on the Secretary of Interior Standards for the Treatment o f Historic Properties.The Secretary of the Interior's Standards (SOIS) are among the most widely used preservation tools in the United States\, info rming local project review\, Mills Act agreements\, federal and state ince ntive programs\, environmental review\, and preservation planning efforts. Yet many local government staff and commissioners continue to struggle wi th how the Standards should be interpreted and applied in real-world decis ion-making.This two-part bootcamp is designed specifically for local gover nment decision-makers responsible for reviewing projects affecting histori c resources. Moving beyond a basic introduction\, the program explores how the Standards function as a practical framework for evaluating projects\, balancing competing objectives\, guiding applicants\, and making consiste nt and defensible decisions.Through focused instruction\, case studies\, a nd interactive polling exercises\, participants will examine common preser vation challenges including additions and new construction\, accessibility improvements\, energy-efficiency upgrades\, adaptive reuse projects\, and projects that do not fully meet the Standards. The program will also expl ore the relationship between the Standards\, local preservation review\, a nd California's evolving regulatory landscape\, including Objective Design Standards and recent housing legislation.By the end of the bootcamp\, par ticipants will be better equipped to interpret the Standards\, evaluate co mplex projects\, write defensible findings\, and confidently navigate the gray areas that often arise in historic preservation review.Part 1: Unders tanding the Standards in Real ProjectsTuesday\, Sept. 15 2026 | 10:00 AM t o 1:00 PM     Introduction: 10:00 AM – 10:15 AM 1.

A reception follows the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Artists\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Brenda Ann Kenneally is a mother\, teacher\, multi-platform documentary wo rker\, Guggenheim Fellow\, and Pulitzer Prize Nominee. Kenneally’s lived experience with incarceration\, homelessness\, and poverty in her youth\, has shaped 30 years of immersive image-based collaborations in community with kindred spirits across America. Situated in image-based historical co ntext\, her work debunks the myth of “Bootstrap America” and exists as an antidote to internalized shame for those who “fail” to achieve it. Brenda explodes the “dangerous” fly on the wall myth of documentary w ork by harnessing the transformative power of photography to build counter narratives. \n\n\n\nKenneally’s “Upstate Girls” project led her to form A Little Creative Class\, Inc. The non-profit arts organization has a mission to address the obstacles that deter marginalized communities fro m engaging in creative expression. \n\n\n\nKenneally has received institu tional recognition including\; fellowships from The Soros and Warhol Found ations\, The NEA\, The W Eugene Smith Grant for Humanistic Photography\, W orld\, National Press Awards\, New York State Council for the Arts\, NYFA and Humanities Council Funding\, Canon\, Getty and Mother Jones grants. \ n\n\n\nKenneally says that some of the most important documentary work she has ever done led to a collaboration with her desert community to replace her best friend Sun Shine’s condemnable house trailer. \n\n\n\n\n\nBre nda Ann Kenneally (continued). \n\n\n\nAmong other feats of documentary ma gic Kenneally has been blessed to pull off\, was a cross-country trip from upstate New York to Bombay Beach\, CA with six teens who struggled with t rauma based social anxieties. Kenneally funded\, produced\, documented\, a nd drove the bus for that trip. In 2025\, Kenneally expanded “The Scrapb ook Project” movement that she founded in 2008\, to include an ongoing c ollaboration with The Skid Row Artist Community in Downtown Los Angeles. \ n\n\n\nJett Lara is a photographic artist living in Los Angeles since 2016 . Lara is known for his work in Los Angeles and his deep connection to his subjects\, shaped through chance encounters and orchestrated images with the people in his world. The world he invents through images was shaped by years of lived experience and self-taught photography. His photographs ar e an exploration of hard truths\, challenging the viewer into deeper layer s of seeing. \n\n\n\nLara’s self-published debut monograph\, Dreams & Ni ghtmares\, was released by Norkwwd in 2025. It is an intimate exploration of Downtown Los Angeles and its surrounding neighborhoods\, uncovering the inner core of survival within the city’s restless landscape.
