The Colusa County Arts Council will host a reception and zine launch party celebrating IN THE COUNTY, a community photography project 📸 that took place this winter and spring, on May 16, 2026 at 6pm.

Photos captured during group photo walks around Colusa County will be on display in the gallery, and copies of a collaborative photo zine showcasing the project will be available for sale. The zine was designed by hand by the featured artists and printed on a Risograph duplicator in the Arts Council gallery. Guests are invited to view the group show, meet the artists, and purchase copies of this exciting new publication!

This event is sponsored by the Colusa County Farm Bureau, a valued non-profit partner whose mission is to protect, promote, and enhance the agricultural industry through community involvement, advocacy, and education.

IN THE COUNTY will be on view until August 20, 2026.

The reception will be free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Visit http://colusa-arts.org/programs/in-the-county for more information.
