The Spring Judged Creative Photography exhibit was on the walls at Rainbow Stew in Yucca Valley from mid June to mid July of 2025.

Our seasonal judged shows are open to the public and judged by an invited professional artist or instructor and they provide a fantastic glimpse into what our local creators have been focused on.

A total of twenty three (23) entries were received that came in from five (5) participants. Please pass along the word for upcoming judged exhibits! More participation increases variety. We are challenging one another to seek out new scenes. We are making note of new and renewed photographic styles. Participation in these judged shows hones our skills as we learn from one another.

The entries were judged as a single group, no categories, with first, second, third, and best of show awards given out. Moneys received during intake go entirely toward prizes and exhibit fees.

"JUDGE COMMENT"

Thanks go to the participating creators that shared their work with us. To Rainbow Stew and all visitors that make these shows possible. And congratulations to the creators that placed!

If you find yourself out and about, make sure to stop by Rainbow Stew and enjoy the Judged show. It will be displayed until December when we transition into a next open to the public, judged show, the Creative Photography exhibit!

We all want to take advantage of this great space because it sees a constant stream of traffic throughout the week. Chaparral Artists see sales through this venue, so do not pass up the opportunity to hang your art with us when you can during these shows.

Stay unique, find ways to flourish, be the amazing person you are, and continue being YOU!
