CAC STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB - AGES 10 TO ADULT
Gather. Share. Create.
The CAC Studio Club is designed to carry your studio learning forward. It’s a place where class concepts continue beyond the lesson itself, unfolding through conversation, experimentation, and shared experience.
By slowing the pace and expanding on concepts, the club offers the time and space to explore photography more deeply, thoughtfully, and with greater freedom.
Rather than focusing on instruction alone, the Studio Club centers on creative hands-on assignments, connection, and growth. Students build confidence by applying what they’ve learned in supportive group settings, guided field trips, and relaxed studio gatherings. This is where skills begin to flow more naturally, ideas take on personal meaning, and photography becomes an ongoing journey shared with others.
As a member, you can expect:
A natural extension of studio classwork, with time to revisit and expand upon a variety concepts
Bi-monthly studio meetings with relaxed discussion, creative exploration, and refreshments
Guided field trips that encourage real-world practice and artistic experimentation
Access to borrowed equipment during field trips to support exploration and curiosity
Opportunities to connect with other students and gain fresh perspectives
Ongoing access to the Director throughout the year for guidance, feedback, and encouragement
The CAC Studio Club is a bridge between classes and a warm, educational studio community.
