The 2026 Summer Youth Photo Camp offers a dynamic week of hands-on learning, creative exploration, and technical skill development. Participants will immerse themselves in a variety of activities, exercises, and experiences designed to foster both artistic and technical growth. By the end of the week, they will have gained an understanding of exposure, lighting, image critiques, and non-traditional photography techniques.

The camp will conclude with a Friday exhibition for family, friends and ViewPoint members, showcasing the participants’ work, celebrating the progress and achievements. Armed with new skills and insights, participants will be equipped to enhance their personal photographic practices and create thoughtful, impactful images with any camera. Activities include photo walks, gallery visits, alternative printing methods, exhibition preparation, and more!

What happens when wanderlust meets a camera? You get HERE & THERE, a captivating new photography exhibition by Dean Hirtle.

Join us this Sunday for an in-house artist talk in which Dean will share the stories behind his stunning travel photography. For Dean, travel is more than just seeing new places—it’s about shifting perspectives.

"Travel broadens one's perspective and provides opportunities to capture part of that personal experience in photographs," Dean shares. "My hope is that these images resonate with others and perhaps inspire their travel aspirations."

Whether you are an avid traveller, a photography enthusiast, or someone looking for a spark of inspiration, this talk will transport you. Come connect with the artist, explore the world through his eyes, and fuel your own wanderlust.

Admission is free and all are welcome!

When: Sunday, June 14th from 2-3pm

Our Featured Member Exhibit this month is Sandy MacIntosh's VIRTUAL GARDENS.

From the artist himself: "I love documenting the forms, colours and textures of the natural world surrounding us. Being in these environmental relationships provides healing, joy, and a never-ending meditation on how we co-exist and grow together."

"i am, for the first time, i am" transforms the gallery into a liminal space, using the visual static of corrupted photographs, the buzz of old CRTs, and audio elements. This exhibition explores the past two years of my existence, emotions, pain, reflection, and growth. For most of my life I never felt like I actually existed, but now I can say, i am, for the first time, i am.

Opening receptions: Emily Kennedy; Rhynn Winstead and Anna Claire Roberts; Caspian Reid; Em Jolly and Cillian Vallely
Monday, Jun 15, 5:30pm

A few photos from last nights opening of HERE & THERE.

If you missed out, don't fret! The exhibit will be up until June 28th! There's also an upcoming artist talk on June 14th.

Experience the wanderlust of Dean Hirtle's HERE & THERE. Dean's photography captures personal travel experiences, in his words: "Travel broadens one's perspective and provides opportunities to capture part of that personal experience in photographs. My hope is that these images resonate with others and perhaps inspire their travel aspirations."

In addition to our Main Exhibit, we also have our Featured Member exhibit, Sandy MacIntosh's VIRTUAL GARDENS. From the artist himself: "I love documenting the forms, colours and textures of the natural world surrounding us. Being in these environmental relationships provides healing, joy, and a never-ending meditation on how we co-exist and grow together."

Our Fresh Ideas Exhibit this month is Graeme Coxon's STILL LIFES WITH CAMERA -- how to create photographic still lifes with everyday objects - even FISH!

Our Gallery B this month features work from 10 of our members, including Ron Pitts, Laszlo Podor, Heather Rose, Anne Bastedo, Craig Benjamin, Kathleen Flanagan, Roxanne Smith, Allan Neilsen, Kim Ottenbrite, and Colin Chase.
