P.E.I. Photo Club hosts annual print show

The P.E.I. Photo Club will hold its 36th annual print show at the Gallery@The Guild in Charlottetown, April 18-29.

Everyone is invited to attend the grand opening and awards ceremony on April 18 beginning at 7 p.m.

This year’s show has taken a different approach from previous years. Rather than holding a competition with judges, sponsors and prizes, this show will simply showcase the work of the many talented club members.

“We wanted this year’s show to be more a reflection of who we are as a community of photographers,” says club president Paul Vreeland. “No winners, no losers. Just an exhibition of what we’re all about.”

There will be four broad categories in the show this year, including landscape, people, nature and photographer’s choice.

The executive of the P.E.I. Photo Club has been working to encourage the greatest possible participation.

“I am really pleased with the number of club members who have submitted images for the show as well as with the high quality of their work,” said Rick Dunphy, chairman of the show committee.

Everyone is invited to visit the show and to vote for their favourite photo. It will be open until April 29 during gallery hours, which are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. For more information, check www.peiphotoclub.com or www.theguildpei.com.
