OC Camera - Photo Exchange Members Exhibition for 2025 - Cancelled

Unfortunately, the 2025 Member's Exhibition at OC Camera Gallery is not going to occur in October 2025 as previously announced.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this recent series of events, and apologies for any inconveniences that this has caused you.

We now have a new date for an exhibition at OC Camera Gallery in early May 2026 (May 11 - June 8, Artist reception May 16th).

At the next Photo Exchange meeting, Sept 18th, we will discuss with the group potential exhibition options going forward, such as the 2025 Members Exhibition artwork juried by Rudy and what to exhibit in May 2026.

Fortunately, we did not commit to the printing of the 2025 Members Exhibition catalog, while Larry Pribble has not deposited the per-sell catalog funds from last Thursday's meeting. For those who did pre-purchase the 2025 catalog, please let Larry know if you would like your funds returned, or deposited in advance for the next exhibition catalog.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Best regards,

Doug

OC Camera - Photo Exchange Members Exhibition for 2025 - Update.

Hello everyone,

First, big congratulations to everyone for being juried into the 2025 PX Members Exhibition by Rudy Vega!

Important dates:

Professionally framed artwork (wire hanging) delivery: OC Camera by noon on Tuesday, Oct 1st

Alternative delivery: bring your packaged & protected artwork to the PX meeting on Sept 18th

Artist reception: Saturday, Oct 11th, 5 - 7pm

Artwork pick-up: 12pm, Monday, November 4th (or make arrangements for others)

Remember: OC Camera Gallery commission is 40% (we sold 3 framed pieces last year)

The 16 exhibitors will include: Paul Anderson, Roger Bennett, Jan Brueckner, Joe Foster, Michael Graves, Janos Lanyi, Evan Odom, Dennis O’Reilly, William Prothero, Kathy B. Shapiro, Catherine Singer, Douglas Stockdale, Tony Tayler, Beatta Tuominen, Rudy Vega, and Sharon Whalen.

Also, Mike and I are also concurrently working on the exhibition catalog. Mike will probably have some individual questions about your page over the next few days. Since we did not sell as many 2024 catalogs as was initially verbally committed for the last time, the print run will probably be a little less, so I am working on pricing now.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Cheers!

Doug
