WELCOME TO THE PARK WEST CAMERA CLUB
The Park West Camera Club is one of New York City’s oldest and most active camera clubs. Founded in 1937, PWCC is open to all who love photography, from beginners to experienced photographers. We offer a variety of programs, including photo competitions and critiques; lectures by professional photographers; member portfolio presentations and workshops; field trips; gallery exhibits; and an award-winning monthly newsletter.
PWCC meets weekly on Monday nights at 7:00PM, currently via Zoom (monthly competitions will start at 6:30PM). Interested photographers are welcome to join our Monday meetings 30 minutes before start time to inquire about membership. The club year runs from September through June, but you may join at any time. Dues are $60.00 per year (pro-rated for new members who join after May), while we are meeting via Zoom. Download an application or email us at pwccny@aol.com for more information. (Note: You MUST be a dues-paying member of the Club to register an account on this website.)
