A showcase of fine art photography reflecting the artistic community living in Berks County and beyond will be on display at Montgomery County Community College.

The Montco Cultural Center will host the Berks Photographic Society Members Exhibition Tuesday, Aug. 26 through Friday, Oct. 24 in the Montco Cultural Center North Hall Gallery on the Pottstown Campus, 16 E. High St., Pottstown, PA 19464. Free parking is available at 101 College Drive.

An opening reception is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 12 from 6-8 p.m. in the Gallery. For more information, visit the Culture Events landing page.

Eighty pieces of traditional, digital and mixed media photography will be on display during the exhibition.

“The members of Berks Photographic Society show the amazing possibilities and diversity of photographic media today,” said Patrick Rodgers, Manager of the Montco Cultural Center. “They take us to shooting locations from Portugal, to Patagonia, to Philadelphia and capture both natural and built environments in dramatic and compelling ways. Anyone interested in the expressive power of photography should have a look at this exhibit.”

The exhibition reflects the Berks Photographic Society’s more than 100 diverse and talented members, said Rebecca Carpenter, the exhibition’s coordinator and a Society member.  

“There is figure work, landscapes, really talented macro and wildlife photographers,” she said. “There will be a few pieces that are three dimensional. Really innovative work. So, it will be a truly diverse collection of work from our group.”

The Berks Photographic Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which, according to its website, provides opportunities for amateur and professional photographers “to engage in their pursuit of the most satisfying and inspiring hobby: capturing light.”

The organization meets twice a month, both in-person and online, with presentations focusing on numerous photographic topics, said Carpenter.

“The group welcomes all styles of photographers and all levels of experience,” she said. “We take lots of field trips and host workshops, so people can learn more. People can do it in a nonjudgemental way, among a very great group of photographers. Our members love creating with their cameras, getting together, learning from each other and having fun.”

The Montco Cultural Center North Hall Gallery on the Pottstown Campus is free and open to the community Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Gallery is closed Saturday and Sunday and on holidays. View the College Calendar for details.
