Current exhibition
The Nevada County Camera Club proudly presents its third photography exhibit at The Granucci Gallery, “A Celebration of Water” beginning March 8 through April 20, 2024, in honor of Photography Month. This exhibit features a diverse collection of images that captures the awe-inspiring beauty of water in its many forms. We invite you on a journey to celebrate the inspirational power of water – from the dramatic waterfalls of Yosemite to the serenity at Lake Tahoe; the turbulence of ocean waves and a colorful swirl of the Yuba River.

We are seeking original artwork in any medium that stands out as the misfit of a studio or art practice. This exhibition is about artworks that don’t quite fit in. We’re looking for your anomalies that don’t play nice with the rest of your art. Maybe a great one-off. What about the piece you made that started an entirely new body of work? Take a look around the nooks and crannies of your studio. Do what you have to do, but find art that has been waiting for its time in the spotlight- because it may never get a second chance.

Chris Dacre, Artist & Art Educator at Sierra College and American River College
As an artist, Chris Dacre experiments with concept, technique and medium to explore new ideas and play with imagery. His belief is that through those experiments something will spring out at him and lead him to a new way of working- a new concept. Chris lives in the woods outside of Nevada City and teaches art at Sierra College and American River College.

We are seeking original artwork in any medium that stands out as the misfit of a studio or art practice. This exhibition is about artworks that don’t quite fit in. We’re looking for your anomalies that don’t play nice with the rest of your art. Maybe a great one-off. What about the piece you made that started an entirely new body of work? Take a look around the nooks and crannies of your studio. Do what you have to do, but find art that has been waiting for its time in the spotlight- because it may never get a second chance.
Would you like to show your art? We welcome artists from all disciplines.
