Artists from all across Northeast Georgia will have their moment in the spotlight at the 14th annual Juried Photography Show in Dawsonville.

The free show will exhibit more than 55 pieces produced by 28 regional artists from Roswell to South Carolina from Sept. 2-24 at the Bowen Center for the Arts. An awards reception will be from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 2 when more than $1,000 in prizes will be awarded.

Exhibiting Juried Show photographers this year include: Dahlonega residents J.B. Fox, Christina Packard and Michael Marling de Cuellar; Dawsonville residents Heather Bordeaux, Michele Kraft Deblois, Michelle Wittmer Grabowski, Fred Pember, Tom Reed, John Seibel, Jeanne Tompkins and Ashleigh Pearl Whittington; Flowery Branch resident Linda Fletcher; Gainesville residents Linda Henderson, Sue Siddaway and Cynthia Todd; Jasper residents Mary Jo Cox, Janice Edens and Linda Geiger; Big Canoe residents June Lewis and Randy Lewis; Canton resident Bob Kelley; Roswell resident Travis Rhoads; Cleveland resident Charles Holton; Cumming resident Joanne Rauschenberg; Auburn resident Karen Cannon; Athens resident Rosemary Segreti; and Legacy, S.C., resident John Deas.

In conjunction with the photography show will be a five-year retrospective celebrating ConnectAbility’s “A Thousand Words” photography project. The nonprofit helps to change the lives of children and adults with special needs, as well as their families and community.

Teams consisting of photographers with special-needs collaborate with local professional and amateur photographers to create theme-based works and personal stories. It is through their beautiful photographs that we see their hard work, and the loving help of volunteer photographers.

The Bowen Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
