Welcome to the Newport PhotoGuild

The Photographers' Guild of the Newport Art Museum (aka the Newport PhotoGuild), an affiliate of the Newport Art Museum, Newport RI, is a non-profit organization of local individuals with a common interest in photography:

• The photographic heritage and history.
• Individual photography ranging from family photos to fine art.
• The technology of photography: film, digital, and printing.
• A focus on the rich and diverse subject matter in our region.
• Gallery showings and display.

We warmly welcome everyone who shares these interests and we are enriched by every individual and their experience. With a new and exciting schedule of programs for this season, we have something for everyone. Our membership, (over 100 strong!) is diverse, fun, and interesting. Please join us!

Next Program

18 March 2010 -- Presentation by Three PhotoGuild Members

The March Program is a departure which I am trying because we have a lot of talent in the Guild and I feel it is important to provide opportunity to showcase that talent. Three members will share and discuss with the audience 20 to 25 of their images.
-- Jack Renner, Program Chair

The three members (in alphabetical order) are:
Michael Guertin
Frank Scheel
Hiroko Shikashio

Programs are presented in the Ilgenfritz Gallery in Griswold House, Newport Art Museum, on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30 PM.
