Celebrate 50 Years of Photo Venture Camera Club Thursday!

in

We hope you will join current and past members, and friends, of Photo Venture Camera Club this Thursday, October 23, at the Indianapolis Art Center as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.

We'll gather at 6 p.m. to meet and greet while checking out the photo display and our Memory Board. Club members will be on hand to answer your photography questions at the PVCC Help Desk. The formal program will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Over the years, PVCC has touched our lives and helped us:

  • Deepen our love for photography

  • Become better photographers

  • Meet other photography enthusiasts

  • Visit new places and attend exciting events

  • Compete with others—and ourselves—by participating in competitions and critiques

Thursday we'll review 50 years of club accomplishments and activities. Hear what PVCC has meant to members, and share what the club has meant to you during our open floor session or via our Memory Board.

Enjoy the Atrium photo exhibition featuring images from club members, and view the slideshows running throughout the evening.

Bring any photography questions you may have to the PVCC Help Desk, located at the back of the auditorium. Members will be available to assist you.

We'll have a raffle, and everyone's welcome to register. We’ll be giving away club memberships and prizes at the end of the evening.

And we'll top off the evening with cake!
