See the Photos and Help Us Out the Morning of July 4th

All the finalist images from our big Seasons of the Mountain Calendar contest will be revealed at our booth on July 4th near the starting line of the even bigger annual July 4th Freedom Run event. We need YOUR help to staff the booth!!! Please let us know if you can volunteer by sending an email to RSVP@evergreencameraclub.org.

This beloved community event starts at 8 am at Evergreen Middle School with a 5K run (or walk if you prefer!) that follows a scenic and hilly course through residential neighborhoods and ends with a festive after party near the finish line at the Evergreen Athletic Club.

All proceeds benefit Mount Evans Home Health Care & Hospice. For more than 40 years, Mount Evans has been an essential resource to our foothill and mountain communities, providing experienced and compassionate home health and hospice care.

New Photography Show at Center for the Arts Evergreen

by Tom Goldberg
New Photography Show at Center for the Arts Evergreen

Immortalized:  Lens & Light

February 23 – April 1, 2023

Opening Reception: Feb. 23 | 4-7 pm

Artists have used glass to create art for centuries. Estimates say that glass lasts longer than 1 million years—an almost infinite amount of time in human history. Immortalized: Lens & Light explores the way in which artists create with glass and glass lenses—stained, fused, blown, mosaic, and fine art photography—to celebrate and commemorate people, cultures, or moments in time.

The Center for the Arts Evergreen is at 31880 Rocky Village Drive, Evergreen, CO 80439 (next door to the Parkside Cafe)

ECC to Increase Membership Fees

by Tom Goldberg
ECC to Increase Membership Fees
Our annual membership fee will be going from $20 to $30 starting April 1st.

We hate to do it, but speaker fees have increased and in order to keep getting great people to present, we need a little more funds.

Even with this increase, our membership fees continue to be extremely modest considering all the things our club does.

  • All interested parties, members or not, can attend or zoom our monthly general meetings and T&T’s — visitors, guests, and students are always welcome!
  • With membership, you get to enter contests (all winners published on this site), go on our field trips, and attend our parties and other special events.

Members can select the Edit/Renew Membership menu to re-up at the current rate for another year. New members can sign up to join ECC at the $20 rate until the end of March 2023.

On April fools day, the new rates will prevail!

On Wednesday, January 25th the Evergreen Camera Club will present a “Tips and Techniques” presentation by Millenial/Gen Y Josh Goldstein on what Instagram is, the club’s Instagram, and how you can set up your own instagram account to share your photos with friends and family. This will be a ZOOM presentation so you can participate in the comfort of your own home!
