The purpose of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild (PAG) is to:
1. Promote and support fine art photography in the Willamette Valley;
2. Provide members with an educational and social environment in which to learn from each other;
3. Offer members an opportunity to exhibit their work in galleries and on the Web.
4. Encourage the appreciation of photography within the community.

Membership:
1. Monthly meetings are open to the public on the third Thursday of each month (except August and December). Meetings are held at 7pm in the basement of the Corvallis Art Center and usually include an educational program. Guests are invited to join us at any meeting to see if our group meets your interests. Dues are collected in January and are currently $25/year.
2. Member benefits include our monthly newsletter, and the opportunity to participate in print critiques, field trips, group exhibits (including the biennial theme show at the LaSells Stewart Center), and social events (including the annual holiday print swap and summer bbq).
3. The emphasis of the PAG is on expressive photography (i.e., non commercial). Current members work in digital format as well as in film—from DSLRs to large format—and represent the full range of photographic processes, from high-end inkjet printing to traditional and alternative processes.
