A Great Place For Photographers for Over 60 Years!
The Huntington Camera Club (HCC) was founded in 1966 to provide beginning and advanced photographers an opportunity to improve their photographic skills, meet like-minded people - who are also interested in photography, and provide a fun, supportive forum for the sharing of their photographs. Membership is open to everyone with an interest in photography, regardless of their skill level. The Club offers instructional programming, entertaining multi-media presentations, judged competitions, field trips, guest lectures by well-known photographic artists, and other events including special dinners and a family picnic.
The Club maintains an active profile in the community. Through dues, the generosity of individuals and various grants and awards, it has cataloged Huntington's historical homes, produced a multi-media show on "A Week in the Life of Huntington," taught photography to children at the Sunrise Day Camp, photographed shows and concerts for the Huntington Art Council’s Summer Series at Heckscher Park, conducts an annual photo competition for high school students, and provides a generous scholarship to a high school student interested in pursuing photography at the college level.
The HCC meets every Tuesday night at 7:30 PM(September - June)in the Auditorium on the lower level of the Huntington Public Library, 338 Main Street, Huntington Village. There are select meetings where we meet virtually using Zoom at 7:30 PM. Please check the calendar below for the meeting schedule. The public is invited to attend some of our meetings, but only paid members may participate in competitions, Zoom only special meetings & special events. If you are interested in attending any of our meetings and possibly joining our club, please email hcczoomadmin@hccny.org for more information, and a meeting link.
Annual dues are $75 a year for individual memberships, $20 for students, $60 for seniors age 62 and over, and $120 for family memberships. Over 35 meetings during the months of September through June are held each year.
