Shutterbugs, ready, set, snap!

Artists of all ages are invited to submit their best shot for this remarkable local photography competition and exhibition. Find Your Walden in Redding is the companion exhibition to Thoreau’s Walden: A Journey in Photographs by Scot Miller. Both exhibitions will be presented in the Koenig Family Art Gallery, May 15 – September 12, 2010.

Walden is much more than just a pond. It has become synonymous with finding a personal connection with nature and one’s surroundings. We encourage everyone to join in and help us celebrate our SENSE OF PLACE SUMMER, a focus on our beautiful place here in the North State. So, head on out, explore our remarkable surroundings, take your best shot, and let your photography reflect what Redding means to you!
