The Grande Prairie Photography Club is celebrating two decades in the community, with a pair of events in the coming weeks.
The first of the two events will be on May 28th, when the club hosts a pop-up art show and Photo Booth, with snacks and refreshments. Club members will be at the event to talk about the different opportunities that the club makes available to both the community and club members.
On June 6th, the Centre for Creative Arts will be hosting an exhibition on the club’s behalf called Moments in Time – Celebrating 20 years of GPPC. The exhibition includes photographs from current and past members.
GPPC president Jesse Boily says the club is not just somewhere for photographers to help one another, but is also a place to give back to the community.
“We offer mentorship and friendship to all who have an interest in photography, while also giving back to the community by providing photography services to local nonprofits, and offering seniors Christmas portraits at local lodges every year,” Boily says.
Treasurer and Membership director Kim White echoes Boily’s sentiments, adding “The Club has connected me to a community that turns inspiration into action and passion into progress!”
The May 28th event will be held at the Centre for Creative on the third floor at 7 p.m. The exhibition runs June 6th to 28th, with the opening reception being held on June 6th at 7 p.m.
