We are the Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers. Founded by Leslie Adkins, Bob Black, Martha Brock, Milbert O. Brown Jr., Terry Harris, Brent Jones and Lee Landry in March of 1999. Our mission is to photographically document the culture and history of the African-American/African communities in both the Greater Chicago area and throughout the world, as well as providing ongoing education for anyone interested in photography. We meet the third Sunday of every month at the South Side Community Art Center 3831 S. Michigan, Chicago, IL from 2 pm until 4 pm (unless otherwise noted). We discuss, learn, and explore photography. We also provide a working network for its membership. CAAAP is a non-profit organization, and membership is open to all beginners, amateurs, and professionals. This site contains information about our organization, meetings, award-winning photography of our members, and more.
