Teague Community Gallery

A Curated Space for Community Creativity

Located in the Visitor Center just outside the Jensen and Kahn Classrooms, the Teague Community Gallery is a welcoming space dedicated to celebrating creativity and community. The gallery hosts rotating exhibitions that showcase the work of local artists, students, and community groups, offering fresh perspectives that reflect the vibrant cultural life of our region.

Open to all visitors, the Teague Community Gallery provides a platform for emerging voices and established creators alike, encouraging dialogue, discovery, and connection through art. Its ever-changing displays make each visit to Ford House unique, inviting guests to explore new stories and expressions alongside the estate’s rich history.

The Best of the Grosse Pointe Camera Club

The members of the Grosse Pointe Camera Club are photographers with wide-ranging perspectives, creative visions, and photographic objectives. During the year, they meet to learn, share, and compete. The club helps members improve their camera technique, composition, and post-processing. Members may submit their work in four categories of competition: Nature, Monochrome, Creative (altered reality), or Color General.

The best images in each category are given recognition. The typical type of photography created depicts the world as we see it. Since the world is intrinsically beautiful, photographs often are too. Unlike abstract or conceptual art, photography has fewer opportunities for distortion. It’s grounded in interpreting reality, and reality is often stunningly beautiful. The best images of GPCC typically reflect the natural beauty around us. However, we now have tools to also be more creative when post-processing images. Our members now see both the real world and creative interpretations of the world we live in.

History of Grosse Pointe Camera Club

Organized in 1938, Grosse Pointe Camera Club held its first Salon and Banquet in 1939. Over the years the Club joined the Greater Detroit Camera Club Council and Photographic Society of America and worked under Council and PSA rules. Major emphasis was on printmaking; members needed access to a darkroom. Meetings were held at Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Some members also held portrait sessions in their homes. Meetings today are online only and limited to showing digital images. Images created on film are scanned and submitted as digital files.

GPCC members make newcomers feel welcome by offering fellowship and helpful commentary when competition entries are shown.
