Want to learn more about taking lovely photos? Join us on Friday December 19th 2025 from 1-3pm for our photography workshop at the Worcester Art Museum! All levels of photographers warmly encouraged to participate. This event is open to the public.
NOTE THE LOCATION! We usually do our workshops at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. However, due to the inclement weather, we will be inside at the Worcester Art Museum.
The cost of the photography workshop is FREE for December.
Non-photographers are welcome to join us to walk around and enjoy the exhibits. We will appreciate the artwork while we’re there.
Note that because we are holding this month’s workshop at the Worcester Art Museum, YOU MUST SEPARATELY PAY AN ENTRANCE FEE TO THE WAM. That entrance fee is $22. You can find discount or free tickets at many local libraries. Check with your libraries to find an inexpensive way to get into the museum. If you are an individual served by Open Sky, talk with Open Sky about being sponsored for this event. You pay that entry fee directly to the museum when you arrive.
We will meet inside the Worcester Art Museum by the Roman mosaic / entrance to the Chapter House at 1pm. Photographer Lisa Shea will provide a brief introductory discussion of ideas for taking photos in an indoor setting. Then we will explore the museum from 1-3pm. You can roam on your own, stay with the group, and ask questions whenever you wish. Feel free to come early or stay late!

Please be sure to RSVP to join the group. Let Lisa know what type of cellphone or camera you plan on bringing. Lisa can then send you a PDF of ideas to get you started. If you don’t have access to any cellphone or camera, we have a few we would be able to lend for the afternoon.
Let us know if you have any questions! And please make sure you research your Worcester Art Museum tickets beforehand. That way you can get discount tickets from your local library or from Open Sky (if applicable) to save on your entrance fee.
Whether you participate in the field trip or not, please consider then sending in a few of your Darkness and Light photos to participate in the free ValleyCAST virtual art show. This show has a deadline of Tuesday, December 30th, 2025!
