Some of our events require advance planning! This is where you will find information on these events. Whether they are Multi-Day PPLAC Adventures, PPLAC Workshops or Single-Day PPLAC Outings that will fill up if we wait too long, you will want to plan for these well in advance!

​

​​​

We are always hard at work planning our "Events to Plan For!"! Drop in on this page from time to time to discover our long-range plans that you will need to plan ahead for. As soon as we know, the plans will appear here and in the PPLAC Newsletter. As always, we try to get this info to you as soon as possible so you can secure reservations before things fill up.

​

Speaking of filling up, the PPLAC Adventures in particular have been quite popular, the size of the group is limited depending on the Adventure and they all sold out both last year and this year!

​​

Important Note! Because the size of the groups is often limited, we give PPLAC members first crack at signing up before we open up these events to the photography community at large. If you are a PPLAC member, take advantage of this benefit!

Only PPLAC Members may register for these events for the first 2 weeks after the event's formal announcement (not just a calendar item) is published in the PPLAC Newsletter.

After 2 weeks, the event will open registration to everyone.

​

Anyone can sign up for the PPLAC Newsletter! it's under the "Contact Us" tab above.

PPLAC Outing! - On June 17th we will visit the Getty Center and the Department of Photography Study Room for a private viewing of a selection of the museum's rare and original photographic prints.
