Join Clyde Butcher on August 16th for a lecture and book signing at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater on August 16th. The lecture starts at 7 pm at the theatre. Ticket link will be posted soon. Be sure to visit the Clearwater Main Library for a book signing prior to the lecutre from 5 -6 pm. This lecture is in conjunction with Clyde’s Cuba exhibit, which is on display at the library from May 6 to October 31st, 2023.

This collection documents Clyde’s journey through Cuba on three separate expeditions. Discovering the warmth and hospitality of the Cuban people, through his photography, Clyde has helped open Cuba’s natural beauty to the world. From mountain waterfalls to lush green jungles and grassy swamps to sandy beaches, his photographs reveal the seductive beauty, subtle grandeur, and majesty of this diverse island. The expedition to Cuba took him to places not seen by visitors in over fifty years.

Cuba invited Clyde, as an official photographer, and conservationists from across the Americas and the Caribbean to meet in 2002, a year declared by the United Nations as “The Year of the Mountains.” The U.N. encouraged countries across the world to hold environmental conferences about mountain conservation. Clyde saw this as an opportunity to make a positive difference in the world and wholeheartedly photographed the remarkable island.
