Inaugural Exhibition from La Antigua’s Photography Club
A fledgling organization is officially introducing itself to La Antigua this week. Club Fotográfico Antigua is presenting its first ever photography exposition at the Claustro del Convento de Capuchinas (located at 2a avenida north and 2a calle oriente). Revue Magazine featured a Datebook Highlight about the event:
The Antigua Photography Club

The sentiment is a common one and spills from the lips of most residents and visitors alike: walking the streets of the quintessentially colonial town of La Antigua is like walking through a living painting, an everlasting photograph. Thus, it is fitting that the community of devoted photographers who cannot resist this “photographer’s paradise” has organized itself into an official group. The Antigua Photography Club (Club Fotográfico de Antigua) meets on the first Thursday of every month to share its members’ ideas and work, offering valuable peer-to-peer support, criticism and advice to professional and amateur alike.
“The only requirement is the desire to learn or share the way you look at the world through the lens,” says club co-founder Nelo Mijangos.
The idea of the club, Mijangos adds, is “to develop and promote educational and cultural activities in Antigua.”
…CFA’s first exhibition is scheduled to open November 6. The collective work will be displayed in Claustro del Convento de Capuchinas. The exhibition is a part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Consejo para la Protección de La Antigua Guatemala. The club’s collection of photos will have two objectives: to introduce the club to the local community and to collaborate with a local association in need of support through the sale of photographs.
