Since 1954 the Niagara Falls Camera Club has been meeting for interested persons to learn, enjoy, discuss and explore photography.
Over the years, the Niagara Falls Camera Club have met in various locations until 1975 when it found a new home in the LaMarsh Room at the Niagara Falls Public Library, Victoria Avenue. In 2022 they moved again to their present meeting place at the Stamford Centre Volunteer Firemen’s Association Hall at Fireman’s Park.
The Niagara Falls Camera Club was one of the founding clubs of the Niagara Frontier Regional Camera Clubs.
In 2023, the NFCC changed its name from The Niagara Falls Camera Club to the Niagara Association of Photographic Art. This change reflects the growing interest in photography as an art form and our focus on the image as opposed to the equipment used to create the image.
The Niagara Association of Photographic Art meets typically the first and third Mondays of each month, from September to March at the Niagara Falls Public Library, Victoria Avenue. Please refer to our program for complete details as some of the days may change.
