True North Photo Society Members:
Mission Statement:
True North Photo Society (TNPS) is an annual membership club that explores the many facets of photographic image making from analogue, alternative processes, to digital output. As a group TNPS meets six times a year to share portfolios, listen to lectures, participate in group outings and experiment with the varied photographic mediums. At least 2-3 times a year TNPS members have the option to participate in Oak Gallery events, city/county art events, and group exhibitions. We are a network of photographic creatives, amateur to professional, that support and nurture one another through the process of photography.
We are very excited to announce that True North Photo Society has a new home with Oak Gallery in Carlsbad, CA.

The 1st is for those that are members only of Oak Gallery at $125 annually. They are given online presence with 10-15 images including a statement, bio, and link to their website on the Oak Gallery site.

Each may show 1-3 framed prints, depending on size, for a low per framed image fee along with a 20% commission to the gallery for works sold on the specified TNPS wall. Each member may have up to 5 matted prints in the TNPS print bin all year. These members are included in some of the social media postings for the gallery, are invited to participate in additional fairs and shows, and are asked to gallery sit 3 times a year.
