Formed in 1975, the Abbotsford Photo Arts Club grew from the desire of a handful of people to continue to share their experiences and improve their photography. Beside fulfilling a social function, the club’s main objective has always been to help amateur photographers to develop and improve their proficiency. Many people find that a photography club fills a gap between the knowledge they acquire from a course in basic photography and the experience they need to operate independently as fulfilled amateur photographers. Learn More.
We invite new members to join APAC by attending one of our meetings, held on Zoom the first and third Mondays of the month. Other activities include regular monthly Photowalks, special events and more.

You’re Invited: Celebrate 50 Years of Photography!
This year, APAC proudly marks its 50th anniversary—and you’re invited to join the celebration! Since 1975, our mission has been to support amateur photographers as they grow in skill, confidence, and creativity. Whether you’re just starting out or rediscovering your love for the craft, the club offers a friendly space to learn, share, and be inspired.
Join us August 5–7 at Tanglebank Gardens for a special three-day anniversary celebration. Enjoy a wide-ranging photography exhibition showcasing the talents of our members, a vintage camera display, and historical slideshows and artifacts highlighting our club’s rich history.
