{{Teaser|

Officially established in 1974, with origins tracing back to the Maribor Amateur Photographic and Cinema Association (set up in [[established::1936]]), the [[Photoclub Maribor]] is one of the most active such organisation in Slovenia today. It organises solo exhibitions by both Slovene and foreign photographers at the [[Stolp Photogallery]]; assists its members to exhibit in other national and international exhibiting spaces; and organises regular seminars, workshops, presentations and similar events of Slovene and foreign photographers in their Atelier of the Art Photography. 

Wrapping up these activities it also organises the [[Festival of Photography Maribor]]. In addition, Photoclub Maribor regularly publishes news about public competitions and other such practical information on its website.

==Exhibitions==

Besides the twelve exhibitions held annually at the [[Stolp Photogallery]], the club assists its member in setting up at least twice as many exhibitions per year in other galleries, across Slovenia as well as Europe.

==Background==

The Photoclub Maribor is known on its long and variegated history: by 1949 it had 277 members, many of whom toured the former Yugoslavia with their exhibitions. During the 1960s it became Photoclub Maribor under the leadership of [[Simon Tihec]], and at this time the unique exhibition ''Photographs by the Maribor Circle'' received international acclaim, featuring work by photographers such as [[Zmago Jeraj]], [[Stojan Kerbler]], [[Slavko Tihec]], [[Dragiša Modrinjak]], [[Ivan Dvoršak]], [[Antonio Baričević]], [[Branko Jernejić]], and [[Janko Jelnikar]]. 

The photographs of the Maribor Circle were analysed by art historian [[Meta Gabršek Prosenc]] in the context of the conceptual visual arts practices in the 1970s. They are presented at the [[Maribor Art Gallery]].
