Come see the Scoville Library’s first exhibition by the Housatonic Camera Club, a local photography club that has been going strong for nearly 75 years.

March 7th through April 18th, during library hours.

Photos are on display on the main floor of the library, accessible from the 38 Main Street entrance.

Our exhibition theme, Local: Illuminating Place and Community, invited HCC members to submit photos capturing the beauty, spirit, or character of a place or community where they live.

The show features gorgeous photography illuminating both little-known and familiar scenes in the Northwest corner and beyond.

The Housatonic Camera Club

Founded in 1956, the Housatonic Camera Club (HCC) is comprised of photographers of all levels, mostly from the tri-state area, who meet monthly to share their love of photography as well as their experience, travels, and expertise with one another and the public. In addition to meetings, the Club also offers programs that are open to the general public, including exhibits, slide shows, field trips, and a range of workshops from basic photography to cutting edge technology and techniques.

As part of the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) and Photographic Society of America (PSA), HCC holds thrice-yearly competitions among its membership. Those chosen to go on to the next level of competition are entered in New England region (NECCC) and international (PSA) inter-club competitions.

HCC was founded by Sharon resident Edward W. Hutchinson, a journalist, teacher, and photographer who exhibited in the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair at the Eastman Kodak Pavillion.

Housatonic Camera Club Meetings and Membership

HCC meets on the third Tuesday of the month from September through June at Noble Horizons in Salisbury, CT. If you’re interested in learning more, please contact HCC Webmaster Lazlo Gyorsok, lazlogyorsok6@gmail.com or visit HCC's website at http://www.housatoniccameraclub.com/.
