InFocus Photography Show
Open Wednesday’s – Sunday’s
April 10 – April 21, 2024
Barbara Bussler is very proud that two of her original photographs have been accepted into the landscape category. All photos are on sale during the exhibit.
The InFocus Photography Competition and Exhibition was first held in 1987 and has become one of the Tuolumne County Arts Alliance’s most successful events.
The show draws both amateur and professional entries and over the years we’ve seen a steady increase in both the number of entries and the quality of the photographs accepted into the show.
InFocus offers both cash and merchandise as prizes for the winning photographs. A new category, the Excellence in Photography Award, was added a few years ago. It is named for the former resident, and nationally renowned photographer, Charles Moore.
InFocus is a program of Tuolumne County Arts (formerly the Central Sierra Arts Council), and as such, it is a non-profit exhibition.
Thanks to the show’s generous sponsor’s contributions and the show’s entry fees, InFocus is a self-sustaining event.
Location of the exhibit is the Jamestown Community Hall,
18250 Main St. Jamestown, CA 95327
April 19, 20, 21st
Location: Tuolumne City Memorial Hall
Black Bear Mosaics will be represented with a mosaic art bear at the Last Earth Event's Recycled Art Takeover exhibit for which local artists were invited to create art with upcycled or recycled materials. You have to look at the full program of this exciting audio/visual show stretching over three days.
