February 5, 2024 – The Nevada County Camera Club (NCCC) will be celebrating April as Photography Month with a variety of photo exhibits plus photo walks for the public. Photography Month was initiated by the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Sacramento to elevate the art of photography.
“Through several exhibits and photo walks, we hope to highlight the importance of photography in our lives as well as the creative culture of Nevada County. We also hope to expand our appreciation of good photography and enhance our photographic skills while creating opportunities for the public to do so as well,” stated Mike Shea, President of NCCC.
