"The Fran Achen contest is an excellent opportunity for photographers of all ages to follow in the tradition of artistic excellence established by one of Whitewater's most revered and respected resident artists. Each year we see an amazing range of subjects and aesthetic perspectives from local and regional photographers, from wildlife to portraiture work, that help to tell this story of this remarkable community and its residents. The exhibition is a fitting tribute to a man whom our community remembers not only as a photographer, but as a teacher, historian, and friend,” said Mark McPhail, president of the Whitewater Arts Alliance. Fran Achen was a long-time Whitewater resident, teacher, and local photographer. However, he is best remembered for his photographic collection which chronicles the history of Whitewater.Date and Time
