Our Mission

The Venice Photo Club is a community-based organization dedicated to promoting and celebrating the art of photography in Venice, California. We're here to give photographers and artists a supportive space to grow and develop.

We believe photography is an art everyone can take part in. All skill levels, backgrounds, and identities are welcome here. We're bringing people together to learn from each other — because we know art has the power to share new perspectives.

Our Vision

We want to make photography accessible to anyone and everyone. Our community should have the opportunity to explore their creativity – free of financial boundaries or limitations. We've already seen the positive impact this has on our community.

That's why we plan on going beyond Venice to make this possible worldwide.

Our Impact

Our programs support our community’s love for photography. From pursuing photography as a professional career, to making it the center of creative expression.

Our workshops and classes focus on developing technical skills as well as exploring artistic vision. It's given people a greater sense of confidence and a deeper appreciation for all forms of art.

Our exhibitions and public events have given a space for members to showcase their work. Connecting with other artists and photographers lets us engage with the broader community.
