Flagpole Photographers Camera Club has opened November with the launch of its annual “Newtown & Beyond Exhibition,” showcasing work by club members at Newtown Municipal Center.

On view weekdays November 1-December 30, the exhibit highlights captivating moments from Newtown and beyond, with many pieces available for purchase. Although regular hours are 8 am-4:30 pm weekdays, the opening reception is planned for Sunday, November 3, 2-4 pm, when the public is invited to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.

Later in the month, experience creativity in action at Flagpole’s Monthly Competition Night on Thursday, November 14. Members will present some of the best work across categories including Nature, Open Color, Open Monochrome, and others. November’s theme is “Faces In Things,” and the monthly challenge is “Wine.”

The hybrid meeting will be in person at Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street, or virtually via Zoom. Social time starts at 7 pm, with the competitions beginning at 7:30.
