9th Annual Photography Exhibit
July 26 to October 18, 2008 “Colors and Contrasts in
Elsah” is the
theme of The Village of Elsah Museum’s 2008 Annual Photography Exhibit. The
purpose of the annual exhibit is to celebrate and foster an appreciation of the
beauty and unique qualities of Elsah and the immediate area in every season.
Each year the Museum chooses a theme designed to bring out a different
aspect of Elsah’s surroundings. According to Jane Pfeiffer, director of the
Museum, the exhibit renews an appreciation of Elsah and adds an additional
reason to visit the Museum. This is the
9th annual exhibit and the sixth year for which there will be a first place
purchase prize with Janice Nesser-Chu, a working photographer/artist and
photography professor judging the work. Pfeifer commented that the juried prize
and experienced judge has brought more and more professionals submitting their
work and raising the quality of photographs displayed each year. As in previous
years, the photographers may sell their displayed photographs to the public.
Pfeifer also commented that the work submitted by the photographers often brings
attention to overlooked aspects of the community.
