[image_frame style=”framed” title = “Canned Food Drive” align=”right” width=”158″ height=”300″][/image_frame]Join fellow PSNWA members and guests as we celebrate the Holidays and say goodbye to 2017 with our Annual Pot Luck Dinner at the new PSNWA Gallery & Studio in Bentonville. Fried chicken from AQ along with tea and soda will be provided. Members are asked to bring a side dish or dessert.

This year’s potluck will include the annual PSNWA canned food drive to benefit a local food bank that needs its shelves restocked. We are asking everyone attending to please bring a canned or non-perishable item to benefit the charity. (Please make sure the food isn’t expired or close to expiration.) PSNWA will match contributions up to 100 cans of food.

During the dinner we will watch and vote for the best digital slide show. Prepare your slide show and enter the competition to show off your work and for a chance to win a new tripod. Details at https://www.psnwa.org/ns/events/2017_slide_show_comp/

David Emitt Adams is a nationally exhibited photographer who makes “tintypes,” one-of-a-kind images, which are placed onto found objects like discarded cans and the lids of 55 gallon drums.

His work has recently been on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.

Join us for the October PSNWA General Meeting featuring the work of Photographer Jane Goble.

Jane Goble has lived in Northwest Arkansas for 13 years. Her photography journey began when she got her first camera from Walmart on clearance. After a few weeks of having the camera, she fell in love with photography. Photography has changed the way she views the world. 
Her greatest pleasure is photographing wildlife. She gets satisfaction knowing she has captured a unique moment in time.

She hopes to continue to gain riches through travel, adventures, and photography.
