Victoria Camera Club Celebrates 80 Years of Photographic Excellence
In 2024, the Victoria Camera Club (VCC) proudly marks its 80th anniversary, celebrating eight decades of passion, creativity, and photographic mastery. Since its founding in 1944, the club has grown from a small group of dedicated black and-white film enthusiasts to one of the largest and most dynamic photography clubs in Canada.
To mark the occasion, the VCC is holding a free public exhibition of members’ juried work in the Bay Centre, lower level, September 5th to 29th, produced by the Victoria Arts Council in partnership with The Bay Centre.
There will be over 100 prints displayed at the print show, plus a display of A Day in the Life of Victoria photographs shot by members on June 1, 2024. We invite you to visit the exhibition and experience the culmination of countless hours of effort, travel, and post-production by our photographer-artists. Each image in the show represents the dedication and passion of our members, capturing the beauty and creativity that define our art form.
The Exhibition will be open September 5th to 29th, Tuesday to Sunday, noon to 5:00pm.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our financial sponsors, Sandhu Wealth-Raymond
James, Kerrisdale Cameras, and Nikon Canada. Special thanks to the 80th Anniversary Print Committee: Ian Faris, Dennis Crabtree, Bob Law, Tom Stewart, and Susan Peterson; and the Selection Committee: Jim Fowler, Richard Letourneau, Bill Cubitt, Cindy Stephenson, and Lori Moilanen. The committees have worked tirelessly for almost a year, overcoming numerous challenges to create a remarkable exhibition. Their dedication and hard work have culminated in a stunning show that celebrates our rich history and showcases the exceptional talent within our club.
Thank you for joining us at our Print Exhibition and for supporting our members, our club, and our mission. We hope you enjoy these beautiful images as much as we have enjoyed creating them.
