Join us and Baearea Film on Saturday, July 19, 2025 for a special summer photowalk! This time with a twist!We’re shaking things up with an assignment-based photowalk that blends the fun of a scavenger hunt and the structure of a bingo card. You’ll be challenged to interpret prompts creatively and photograph with intention, whether you're shooting 35mm, medium format, instant film, a seasoned shooter, or just getting started with photography (film or digital), this is a great way to connect, explore, and create. Free and open to all.
