LAKEPORT, Calif. – Clear Lake High School will partner with Main Street Gallery to feature the work of photography students.

The photography program is part of the Career Technical Education program at the school taught by Jan Hambrick.

Clear Lake High School photography students have displayed their photographs annually with rave reviews at Main Street Gallery for the past five years.

During the month of April, the work will be on display and for sale. The exhibit will be unveiled on April 6 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Due to the limited amount of wall space in the student gallery, students compete for the opportunity to display their work.

Work is gathered throughout the year and judged by their peers with the top ranking students work selected for the showcase.

In class students learn not only how to take photos both utilizing 35 millimeter film and digital photography, but also learn how to prepare their work for the exhibit.

Hambrick teaches the students how to mount, mat and frame their photos. All photographs are embellished by frames made by the schools woodshop program taught by John Moorhead.

All items on exhibit are for sale with proceeds going to support the photography program at CLHS.

“It is an honor and a privilege to show ones work in a gallery,” said Hambrick. “Most artists wait a lifetime to show in a gallery. Our thanks to Lake County Arts Council for their support in providing our students the opportunity of a gallery experience.”

Main Street Gallery does not charge a rental fee for the showcase and only takes a 20 percent commission fee from each piece sold.

The gallery continues to be a generous supporter of the photography program at Clear Lake High.
