About the Program: Join us for a reception celebrating Capturing Clarke! A Photo Contest for Wanderers, presented in partnership with the Clarke County Conservation Easement Authority. The collection brings together award-winning photographs from local amateur, professional, and student photographers, offering a beautiful look at Clarke County’s open spaces, natural resources, and distinctive rural character.

From sweeping landscapes and familiar landmarks to wildlife and quiet moments in nature, these photographs invite us to see Clarke County through the eyes of the people who live, work, and wander here. Together, they celebrate the places that make our community special—and the importance of preserving them for generations to come. Visit the Easement Authority website for a full list of participating photographers.

Visitors may come and go as time allows. Complimentary refreshments will be provided.

Date & Time: Saturday, October 10, 2026. The reception will begin at 5:30, and conclude by 7:00 PM. Stay afterwards for a Joni Mitchell tribute concert, performed by Kipyn (Kai) Martin. More Info »
