Silver City, Nevada -Photographers from historic Silver City will display and sell their work in a one day show titled “What Silver City Can’t Photograph Ain’t Worth Looking At”, a reference to the 1800s newspaper tagline, “What Silver City Can’t Do is Hardly Worth Doing.”
The event, sponsored by the Silver City Arts group, takes place Saturday, December 2, 2017 in the Silver City School House, 385 High Street, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
While the photographers in this show have made their living in a variety of careers, their passion is photography. Their work reflects Dorthea Lange’s view that “the camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” Photos by Johne Behner, Meg Burns, Evangeline Elston, Robert Elston, Wil Godwin, Theo McCormick, Henry Park, Las Swanson, Renate Victor and Ron Victor will be included in the Dec 2 show.

Silver City Arts group founder Carol Godwin, PhD, explains that in this show, photographers will share their vision of the world and of Nevada. “These photographers have embraced photography to show that Nevada has a rich ecosystem, beautiful landscapes, interesting residents, and unique architecture. They wish to share the world as they see it with others."
