The Dubuque Museum of Art is proud to host the 4th annual exhibition of photographs by members of the Dubuque Camera Club. The theme of this year’s exhibition of 16 photographs focuses on Dubuque’s iconic architecture, in all of its iterations and stages whether historic, modern, new, old, neglected, or restored. The challenge for club members was to bring a fresh awareness and appreciation to a well-documented subject.

DUMA is excited to continue its partnership with this local group dedicated to promoting a greater appreciation for the art and skill of photography. Those who work in creative fields often work in isolation out of necessity and preference but when they have the occasion to participate in a group, or collaborate with another artist, the exposure can bring new ideas and directions to their work. In a group like the Dubuque Camera Club where any skill level is welcome and the medium of photography is widely accessible, the motivated beginner can get started quickly and find an invaluable source of knowledge and support.

About the Dubuque Camera Club

The Dubuque Camera Club has been in existence since the early 1940s with its start at the Dubuque YMCA. The current club has over 30 members and is part of the N4C which is an organization of 42 camera clubs in 11 North Central states. N4C organizes contests where images are submitted and judged by members from other clubs with winners receiving awards. Photo enthusiasts of all skill levels are encouraged to join and learn more about photography, become a qualifying member of N4C, and be eligible to participate in contests and activities.
