Jeff Cowell, juror of the Community Photography Show, February 13, 2:00 pm

Photographers, Artists, and Teachers: Several people have expressed interest in a critique session with photographer Jeff Cowell, the judge of VAAM's community photography show. He agreed to come back on Sunday, February 13, at 2:00 pm in the gallery. Everybody is invited to participate or just listen in, so please feel free to invite people who might be interested in photography but did not participate in the show. Participation is free of charge and is made possible by the great public support VAAM receives from our McPherson community!

Community Photography Show Opens

VAAM, the Visual Arts Alliance of McPherson, is proud to announce a great turn-out for its first community photo contest: Faces and Places of McPherson! 101 photographs will be on display at the VAAM and Opera House galleries, starting January 12, until the end of February.

A reception in honor of all the photographers will be held on Saturday, January 15, 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The community is invited to attend! Come and see the winners and pick your favorite photo by voting for the People's Choice Award! This award will be announced the last day of the show.

Due to the success of this first community photo exhibit, VAAM plans to repeat it in two years and make it a bi-annual event. It is never too early to save your great photo shots!

The mission of VAAM is to create avenues for participation, education and appreciation in the visual arts.
