Free! All classes and workshops are free and open to the community. We’re able to offer them at no cost thanks to funding from Tacoma Creates, grants, and the support of generous donors. A suggested donation may be listed to help cover materials and support the space if you’re able, but it’s never required to attend.

Suggested donations help cover materials, instructor time, and operational costs. If you’re able to contribute, we truly appreciate it, but there is no requirement to donate in order to attend. All of our programs are free and open to the community.

Donations support Tacoma Photo Center’s nonprofit programming, supplies, equipment, and our ability to keep classes accessible to everyone.
