An Oakland-based creative arts non-profit providing inspiration, education, and community through the art and craft of photography.

We are photographers in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area working together to create a community photo center, which will include a gallery, workshops, darkrooms, and other facilities.

We currently operate Oakland Photo Workshop, a community gallery located in Oakland’s Chinatown, and have plans to build and auxiliary darkroom in 2023.

Our mission is to provide facilities, education, inspiration, and community to East Bay photographers, including those who are under-served or lack access to a creative community.
