Channel City Camera Club photo enthusiasts are displaying their favorite prints in the Faulkner Gallery at the Santa Barbara Public Library through August. Active locally since 1939, the Club strives to advance the knowledge and skill of photography in the Santa Barbara community.

This print show features 101 prints by 28 club members (participating photographers below), continuing its 18+ year tradition of presenting at least one annual exhibition. The public is invited to a reception on Thursday, August 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. The presentation is on view through August and free to the public during normal library hours.

Organization Biography: The Channel City Camera Club, founded in 1939, hosts exhibitions, field trips, and presentations by renowned professional photographers.

The Club welcomes anyone in the community with an interest in photography. The Club meets nine months of the year, and meetings are open to the public. Members may submit images for professional critiques during monthly juried exhibitions and participate in group efforts such as this print show. For those seeking to develop their photographic skills, the Club provides education, mentorship, and camaraderie. Annual dues are $60; anyone may become a member at any time.
