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 6:30PM, currently via Zoom. 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.

LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS

The winning and runner-up images announced at our June 1st meeting are posted in the rotating gallery, above. Congratulations to the winners and to all members who submitted images, and thanks to judges Jack Kaminsky, Jane Schreibman, and Sara Signorelli. A new round of member competitions will start in October 2026.  

It's not too late to reserve a spot at our Otto Litzel Memorial Dinner on June 15th. Come and celebrate another year of PWCC photography and programs with fellow Club members. Check the latest Photo Notes or Weekly Reminder for details.

We'll be taking a break from our weekly meetings over the summer, and instead will be gathering every other week for member "Club Nights-Out" and Zooms, including the summer workshop Expanding Visions 32. (This workshop is open to the public; check our our May 2026 Photo Notes newsletter for details and contact us at pwccny@aol.com if you'd like to join.)
