The Grand Canyon Photography Club was founded with the help of Art and Christine Heiny and has been active for over 20 years. Members meet the second Tuesday of the month at the Gmeiner Arts and Cultural Center. Its purpose is to advance the art of photography among its members, develop their photography skills, and promote photography as an enjoyable recreational experience.
The photo club always welcomes new members. Congratulations to all members whose prints were accepted into the show. The next club photography show is scheduled for summer 2025.
