The West Kootenay Camera Club is hosting its 35th Annual Photo Show at the Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar from June 4-13, 2026. The exhibition features judged photo entries across categories such as nature, human interest, places and landscapes, creative, black and white, after dark, and alternate media, with an opening reception on June 4 from 5-7 p.m.
This annual show matters because it highlights local photographic talent and provides a platform for both amateur and experienced photographers to share their work with the community. It also engages the public through interactive elements like a loonie prize draw and a people's choice vote, reinforcing the gallery's role as a hub for regional arts and culture.
