Photospace Gallery
37 Courtenay Place, Wellington
9 December 2023 - 27 January 2024
A celebration event: 12 - 2pm, 9 December 2023
Come along on Saturday between 12 noon and 2pm to celebrate the 25th birthday of Photospace Gallery.
Cake cutting at 1pm. And maybe a very brief speech.
Saturday is also a great time to view 'Growing up in Silence' - photographs by Thomas Slade.
I'd like to acknowledge here the support the gallery has received from so many people, recently and over its quarter-century of existence. In particular, my wife Denise Durkin; Mark Marriott - who literally helped build the place, and for his solid ten-plus years of help and creative energy; and Karen Lee - who helped mind the place for years to give me a bit of a break, and for a lot of good advice. I couldn't have started the gallery and kept it running without all of you.
The wall display in room 3 is far from comprehensive; it will show just a smattering of the goings-on over the decades. Compiling the photos has been an emotional experience as there are many people in them who were regular visitors and exhibitors but who sadly have died, some just this year. I would like to thank Reg Feuz, Mark Beehre, John Williams and Helen Mitchell for contributing photos. Your time, effort and generosity is greatly appreciated.
Exhibitions will run till 27th January. The gallery will be closed from 23rd December and will reopen Monday 8th January.
We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
