New Photography Exhibit – Gold Country On Camera 2025

Nevada County Camera Club’s exhibit “Gold Country on Camera – A Photo Challenge” will be on display at the Courtyard Suites in Grass Valley in April to celebrate Photography Month.   This exhibit includes photographs of western Nevada County that were taken during one week in February. 

“The purpose of this annual photo challenge is to encourage club members to expand the creativity in their photography, post processing and presentation of their artwork. This exhibit is fun not only for the photographers but viewers as well, as the photographs often incorporate fantasy, 3D or other special effects in the finished work. This is one of the most creative exhibits of the year,” said Mike Oitzman, President of the Nevada County Camera Club.  

Photographs for this exhibit will be displayed at the Courtyard Suites, 210 N Auburn St in Grass Valley during their open hours from 6:00 am – 11:00 pm from April 3 – April 29. The opening reception will be on Saturday, April 5 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.   The public is invited. 

“It is definitely our pleasure to host the Nevada County Camera Club during Photography Month again at the Courtyard Suites.  Supporting local artists is one of our goals and helps expand our guests’ experiences – giving them a chance to take home a piece of art from the local talented camera club!  Please join us as we celebrate Gold Country on Camera at our opening reception,” said Kyra Gates from the Grass Valley Courtyard Suites.

Photography Month, initiated by Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, is being celebrated in northern California in April to recognize the importance of photography by sharing a moment of beauty, a visual story, or a snapshot in time and history.
