Photoquest 2020:
In light of the Coronavirus Pandemic a poll was conducted among members as to whether we should cancel or go ahead with PhotoQuest 2020. The poll indicated that we should hold a special PhotoQuest retrospective presentation: "Through the Years Of PhotoQuest."
PhotoQuest 2020 is scheduled to run August 13 through September 12 at the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, Kerrville, TX. It will be a walk down memory lane of the many talents of our awesome Club members that have hung at KACC for the past 20-plus years. There will be no categories, no judges, no ribbons awarded and no "meet and greet" reception.
Each member can choose up to three of their photos exhibited at past PhotoQuests. Only those photographs exhibited in 2019 are excluded.
KACC will publish a video of the exhibit on their website during the dates of our show. So if the public does not actually go to KACC to view our awesome work, they still can see our images online.
