Special Events
The next Member Exhibit will take place in April.
During the month of December the club’s newest exhibit, based largely on a recent print competition with the subject “Life in Action”, was shown at the New Hanover county main Library in downtown Wilmington.
In addition to monthly meetings and competitions, the club periodically holds photography outings, public exhibits, and special learning sessions which together make the club a focal point of photographic interest and education in the Cape Fear region. Check the Calendar pages for upcoming events and check this page as well as the Newsletter page for more detailed information.
On January 9th the club held its print competition with the an “Open” category and assigned category, “Abstract”. Over 75 entries were submitted. Ribbon winning entries will be posted on the Gallery page shortly. The competition was judged by Carlton Wilkinson, UNCW assistant professor and gallery director, College of Arts and Science. Mr. Wilkinson’s experience as an artist and photographer coupled with the communication skills of an educator enabled him to provide thoughtful and insightful critiques of the submissions. His comments were well received and appreciated. On January 27 he will give a lecture on the depiction of the human form in art at the Cameron Art Museum. Mark your calendars.

BIRDING CLASSES
An Intermediate Birding class, focused on the fall migration, will be offered by The Brunswick Institute of Lifelong Learning at Brunswick Community College.
The class is appropriate for beginning birders; however, the birding basics instruction, included in BCC’s beginner’s class, will be replaced by migration behavior and strategies.
The course begins at 8 AM on Saturday, September 6, 2008 at the visitor center at Carolina Beach State Park.
Five additional Saturday field trips to key migration stopovers on our barrier islands, from Ft. Fisher to Sunset Beach, are scheduled from 8 AM until Noon, to be completed by October 25.
A mid-October Bald Head Island trip will be extended to 3 p.m. and will involve additional costs (for ferry and parking) of $25-$30 to be paid by each registrant.
A recommended (but optional) text is Living on the Wind by Scott Weidensaul.
To pre-register, call BCC at 910-755-7380.
