Welcome. The Kamloops Photo Arts Club (KPAC) is an eclectic group of men and women that meet September till June to share their images, exchange photography expertise, to laugh a little and learn from each other.
Programs, workshops and hands-on field trips help aspiring and practiced photographers alike develop a creative, artistic and thoughtful approach to photography. Members whether new to the photography adventure or further down the road, contribute ideas and energy to running the Club. We welcome you to join us and share your images and expertise.
For an introductory meeting or questions send a note to info@kamloopsphotoarts.ca. A quick link to our Membership form is at the right or can be found under the CLUB MEMBERS tab. Most meetings are via Zoom. Workshops and field trips are usually outdoors observing health protocols. We look forward to connecting with you.
