'Growing up in Silence' is extended - Monday 29 January to Friday 2 February, 10am to 1pm only.
Viewing by appointment also available.

We're marking the occasion of the gallery's 25th birthday on 9th December 2023 from 12 noon till 2pm, cutting the cake at 1pm. There is a display of laser-copied photos from the history of the gallery showing in room 3.

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, Mark Marriott and Helen Mitchell for contributing photos. Your time, effort and generosity is greatly appreciated.

The photo display will be on show till 27th January 2024.
Photospace will be closed from 23rd December to 7th January, inclusive, with exhibition viewing by appointment available.
