IMAGES ALBERTA CAMERA CLUB

Images Alberta Camera Club (IACC), based in Edmonton, AB, was founded in 1975 and is still full of vitality. It currently has about 190 members (from beginner to intermediate to advanced) who share a passion for photography. Read about our history.

Our three pillars are to learn, support the community, and have fun.

WHAT WE DO

We meet at 7:30 on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month from September to May (except in December when we meet on the 2nd Thursday only). On the 2nd Thursday, we have a guest speaker and a member showcase. The 4th Thursday is competition night, which is a golden opportunity for members to show their work and also to learn about the art of critiquing images.

We offer a variety of activities to our members: workshops, outings, and special interest groups. We also lend our support to community events, promote our members' work, and host exhibits.

FEATURED MEMBER: Mufty Mathewson

Mufty has been a key part of Images Alberta Camera Club (IACC) since almost its inception. She's served on the board many times, including as President, and is now the club's historian.

She believes fervently in giving back and has been involved in numerous volunteer roles and projects, most notably the REDress Project. She was the 2016 recipient of the Sage Award, presented by Servus Credit Union, and is an Honorary Lifetime Member of the IACC.

At CAPA's 2019 annual conference, she was one of five guests presented a White Hat as an acknowledgement of her ongoing involvement with CAPA. “The White Hat Ceremony is a long-standing tradition in Calgary, a symbol of the Western hospitality and good cheer we like to share with visiting guests.” (comment courtesy Heather Kuchma)
