Douglasville, Georgia – The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/Douglas County (CAC) displays another year of exceptional member talent at their Local Lenses Photography Exhibit. This engaging photographic exhibit will be displayed October 1-November 20 at the CAC’s historic gallery Monday-Friday from 9:00 am-5:00 pm. A celebratory reception and awards ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 5 from 6:00-8:00 pm, hosted by True Amor Catering. Refreshments will be served, and the event is free and open to the public. Come view the presentation of prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, and Honorable Mention. Come back throughout the exhibit run to tour it and cast your vote for your favorite artwork. At the end of the exhibit, one last cash prize will be presented for the People’s Choice award.
This year, CAC members submitted many compelling works. Each artist was allowed to submit up to three photographs. The CAC gallery
committee carefully selected the final mix of pieces to create a cohesive and enjoyable exhibit. Credentialled, experienced judges will anonymously assess the photographs and select the winning pieces. All prizes will be awarded at the exhibit reception apart from the People’s Choice award, which will be announced after the close of the exhibit.
The final array of artwork includes a wide variety of techniques and subjects. The CAC invites you to come and view the amazing work by the gifted participating artists.
