Welcome to Tacoma Photo Center

The Tacoma Photo Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, dedicated to expanding community access to photography and the arts. Our facilities include a film development area, darkroom, digital lab, camera lending library and lighting studio. We host a variety of courses, workshops, and community art events. While TPC focuses on photographic media, all artistic practices are welcome!

We are located in the historic Wonder Bread Building at 1720 S 7th Street, Suite 103, Tacoma, WA 98405, and are open to the public Thursday through Sunday, from 1 PM - 8 PM. We can accommodate requests on our off days/hours by request.
