Exhibition at Kiwanis Gallery - Downstairs in Central Library - October 17. 2016
The club’s exhibition of past competition winning images was installed on Monday, October 17 at the Kiwanis Gallery in the basement of the downtown Library. The team working under the direction of Diana Anderson of the Red Deer Arts Council was very proficient and completed the task of studiously hanging 34 framed prints in only 90 minutes. A great contributor to the success of this exhibition is club member Daniel Pelissier who was an immense help in organizing the images, buying mattes and frames from Michaels, matting photos which required it, and framing a great many. Thank you, Daniel! Club members can view images of the installation in the Gallery below, and also view a time lapse video of how the display was set up in less than 2 minutes time by following this link!

The exhibition is thus open for public viewing. 1200-1500 people typically pass through the gallery each month, so go join them and check it out for yourself!
There will be a formal public reception for the show on Friday, November 4 between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. in the gallery. It is expected to draw a variety of artists from the community and will be advertised in the media. Wine and snacks will be served courtesy of the Arts Council, and any club members who would like to donate some treats would be very welcome to do so. The participating photographers will hopefully be on hand to answer any questions about their images and how they were taken. By all means join this event if you wish, and encourage your family members to do so as well!
The exhibition will run until Monday November 21, and when it is taken down our club will receive a welcome honorarium for putting on the event.
We hope to see you there soon!

Club Exhibition at Symphony Orchestra Concert
Daniel Pelissier organized an impressive public viewing of club member photos which had been winners during the winter competition. This exhibition took place during the intermission of a performance of the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra which was held at the Red Deer College. The concert was sold out which means that fully 580 people had the opportunity to view these photos and many of them did. There were quite a few questions about our club which Daniel was present to answer, and many people picked up the club’s brochure which has our contact information and may lead to patrons following up with us in future. From Daniel’s description of the event it was hard to tell which he enjoyed more: the high level of interest shown by concert patrons in our club or he himself having the opportunity to hear Chopin’s 2nd piano concerto played live! Please see the attached photos which illustrate the interest shown in our club images.

Passing of Edna Buck
Former CAPS member Edna Buck passed away on December 29, 2014 at the age of 72 years. She was a long-time participant in our club, who always loved to show off the latest photos she had taken. Many of those photos won awards, including those of cows! Her photography was enriched by her journeys to such exotic locations as Hawaii, and the Philippines. Closer to home she travelled widely in her motor home with her husband throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Her daughter-in-law Sandra Buck was also a club member for many years.
