The Central Coast Photographic Society (CCPS) is a vibrant, active, and enthusiastic group of 100 photographers who are all at different skill levels. The group strives to create an atmosphere of learning by sharing skills and expertise with each other through their craft of photography. Members attend monthly inspirational meetings which include artistic and technical presentations by their very own CCPS members, as well as local and nationally acclaimed professional photographers. Bi-monthly member competitions and exhibitions like this one provide both valuable sharing and learning experiences.
In January 2022, the San Luis Obispo Camera Club merged with the CCPS, and with this merger came more activities, opportunities, members, and more fun learning experiences. Expanding the CCPS made for a stronger group, adding greater support and opportunities for local photographers.
CCPS is part of an umbrella organization: Central Coast Artists Collective (CCAC). CCAC provides opportunities for art exhibits to their four artists groups: photographers (CCPS), sculptors, craft makers, and painters. All four groups have a combined membership of 300 artists.
Trilogy Art Group (TAG) is open to Trilogy Monarch Dunes residents with an interest in art - from those starting fresh to professional artists and everyone in between. TAG provides a supportive and educational environment through a variety of activities such as workshops, classes, demonstrations, field trips, community outreach, fundraising and opportunities to exhibit and sell art.
