Overview of Programming

Greater Lynn meets every Monday from September through May. We have a variety of programs each week. Individual write-ups on each of thesekinds of programs can be found on the navigation bar above. Summaries of the kinds of programs we have are below.

The 2011-2012 schedule is listed by dates in the column to the left on this page. It can also be found on the Calendar in the navigation bar above. Links to details about past programs can be found in the right column.

The first week of the month is generally an invited speaker who gives a teaching program or a showcase program. The second week of the month is our monthly print competition. The third week of the month is the monthly projected image competition. (A five week month's schedule will have another speaker on the second week of the month.) The other weeks are a variety of programs from other teaching programs, to the member mini show, to the women versus the men smackdown, to international exhibition shows (GLPA’s and Ocean State’s).

In addition to the regular Monday meetings, we also have events on other nights of the week. There is a Print Group that meets once a month, usually a Thursday. Digital Discussions meets monthly on a Wednesday. The Nature Group meets the last Wednesday of every month.

The club actively participates in various interclub competitions throughout the season. Projected image entries composed of member work are sent to four pictorial and three nature competitions sponsored by the Photographic Society of America (PSA). These are international in scope. Projected images (pictorial and nature) and prints (monochrome and color) are sent to three competitions sponsored by the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC). These are regional in scope. The club also participates in annual invitational competitions such as the Glennie Memorial, an international nature competition; the Carlson Memorial, a regional print competition; and a digital four screen, involving four clubs and twenty-five specific categories.

The Model committee conducts four Sunday model shoots at the club.

Our annual Photo Course runs six weeks in the fall and is always well attended.

Our biggest event of the year is the International Exhibition. Over 4,000 images are collected and judged during January and February of every year. A beautiful color catalog is produced after the competition and a show set to music displays all the accepted images to the Exhibition.

We have two banquets each year – in June and at holiday time at end of year.

Members have the opportunity to exhibit prints of their work at a variety of gallery settings sponsored by the Club.

So, you can see we are a very active club. Check out the details of our programs. Join GLPA to participate in our activities, make new friends, and expand your photographic learning.
