The 2026 New Bohemian Nights Fundraising Event
This year’s New Bohemian Nights Fundraising event was a terrific success! Food from Chef Ben Spungin, paired with wine from I Brand Winery, made for an amazing duo. We are thankful for our community’s continued support in upholding our mission to inspire the next generation of photographers. Thank you to the businesses, photographers, and participants who came together to make this event such a success.

The Treasure Hunt
Each year, after our tour of Wildcat Hill, we split the participants into groups and begin the treasure hunt! Each team is given a piece of paper with clues about the history of Wildcat Hill, and they must take a photograph that accurately represents each point. It is always a ton of fun with lots of laughter.
The Winning Team!
The winning team was awarded with a beautiful book by Jim Kasson, “Staccato.”
The Silent Auction
Thank you to all the photographers who donated a piece for this year’s silent auction at the New Bohemian Nights Event. We had a wonderful selection of pieces that guests bid on throughout the night. The extra funds raised were so helpful.
Poet Elliott Ruchowitz-Roberts
We ended the night with poet Elliott Ruchowitz Roberts reading poetry by Robinson Jeffers and from Edward Weston’s Daybooks. It is always such a special way to close the evening of New Bohemian Nights.
