CAC Celebrates Photography
The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/ Douglas County joins creative powers with the local Sweetwater Camera Club once every two years for the SCC Biennial Exhibit. This year, the Sweetwater Camera Club exhibit will be displayed October 8th through November 19th with a wide variety of photographic talent. The free opening reception will be held on Thursday, October 8th from 5 to 7 pm at the Cultural Arts Council, hosted by the Optimist Club of Douglas County.
Janet Newton, president of the Sweetwater Camera Club pays tribute to hidden moments with “Knock Please” and “J Fern.” Acclaimed photographer Stephen Armstrong flexes his lenses with a taste of event portraiture, honoring the celebrations of life, like in “Magical Hairspray.” Atlanta billboard spotlighted artist Nicolette Dunn displays her crisp black and white “Aspens,” and Dawn Horrex uses her camera to play “Hide and Seek.” Take your own photos of our celebration as three photography enthusiasts will be awarded prizes in both Novice and Advanced categories on October 8.
