Located in Downtown Montague, MI
                             CALLING ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS –
                     YOUTH, AMATEUR, AND PROFESSIONAL!

Calling everyone who has ever taken a fantastic photograph! Beginning July 6, the
Nuveen Community Center for the Arts will provide an opportunity for everyone to
display their photographs in A Community’s Lens – Photography Exhibition.  The
exhibit has three categories – Youth (ages 17 and under), Adult, and Business.  All
interested should request a registration form from the Nuveen Center by calling (231)
894-2787 or emailing nuveen@artscouncilofwhitelake.org.

Nuveen is encouraging everyone to submit their best photographs of any subject
matter.  Entries will be judged by Elizabeth Reynders, owner of Shades of Grey
Photography and member of the White River Gallery and Gallery Uptown in Grand
Haven.  A first place prize of $50 will be rewarded to the best photograph in each
category, as well as two honorable mentions.  A “People’s Choice” award of $50, as
voted on by the community, will round out the prizes.  Artists will receive $10 for
each photograph sold.

Entry fee is $5 per photograph, and includes an 8” x 10” black mat.  All photographs
should be 5” x 7”.  Both color and black and white photographs will be accepted.  
Entries are due June 22-25 between 12 – 5 p.m., and June 26 between 10 a.m. – 2 p.

For “Business” entries, all pictures must be taken on the premises of the business (i.e.
of customers, architecture, equipment, employees, etc…).  Photos may be taken by
anyone but will be submitted on behalf of the business.  Business name will receive
the photo credit.

This show will not only promote the creative spirits of area photographers, but will
provide an opportunity for the public to purchase favorably priced original art to add
to their collections.  All photographs will be matted and available for purchase for
only $15.

The opening reception and awards ceremony for the exhibit is July 6 from 5-7 p.m.  
Refreshments will be provided courtesy of Fretty’s Catering.  The exhibit will be on
