Craven Arts Council & Gallery is proud to host the Coastal Photo Club in the Main Gallery of the Bank of the Arts during the month of September. This exhibition will feature works by local photographers on a wide array of subjects in a variety of styles.

This exhibit will feature work by the Coastal Photo Club’s nearly one hundred members, with photos taken of eastern North Carolina and around the world. Each artist has been invited to submit up to two images for exhibition. The exhibit showcases the variety of styles and materials available to the modern photographer, including framed photos, canvas prints, and metal laminated pieces from different artists. Differences in production are also highlighted, from classic darkroom techniques to advanced digital photo manipulation.

The Coastal Photo Club was established in 1991 as the New Bern Camera Club by Elizabeth Dunn. The group participates and organizes exhibitions for its members at local galleries and spaces, including the New Bern Public Library and the Bank of the Arts. The club also organizes photography oriented field trips and workshops for the membership.
