History
The Washington Park Camera Club (WPCC) was organized in 1955 and received it’s Charter in 1961. It is one of Chicago’s oldest and one of two predominantly African-American camera clubs in the Chicago Area Camera Clubs Association (CACCA). The club is also a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA).
WPCC provides a forum where those who are interested in photography can meet, learn and explore different aspects of the art and increase their knowledge of this fascinating science.
Throughout the club year, WPCC offers critiques, workshops, and competitions, field trips and events with guest photographers and lecturers on various subjects relating to the art.
The club enters it’s work in monthly and annual CACCA international competitions and art fairs and has been recognized as an organization with a sense of pride and satisfaction.
