Monthly Programs

APS hosts 8 -10 program meetings each year. 

Change for 2026: Programs are held on the 4th Saturday of each month (except - November & December). Location is the same - First Baptist Church of Decatur. Guests are always welcome.

Our program meetings have time to socialize,  meet old friends and make new ones, share photos,  and learn from other photographers. Non-members are welcome. 

APS programs cover a wide range of photographic topics presented by members or guests. Our speakers cover a variety of artistic and technical subjects, conduct learning workshops, coordinate group critiques of images, and others.

NEW for 2026 - Photography Basics Course

Photography Basics is a fast paced, learn by doing short course for both new and experienced photographers. Instructors will be APS Master Photographers: Jim Harrison, Mike Shaefer and Darryl Neill.

Free for APS members, join APS for just $35.
