AN exhibition showcasing the work of amateur photographers is entering its second phase after receiving a large number of responses.
The Glasgow Gallery of Photography was overwhelmed with submissions from photographers across Scotland and beyond.
The interest meant organisers decided to divide the exhibition into two parts, with the second beginning next week at their new gallery on Glassford Street.
Michael McCann, the gallery director said: “The Open Call 2 exhibition is the second part of a large photography exhibition, exhibiting the work of both Scottish and international photographers.
“The idea behind the exhibition was to celebrate photography as a whole, to celebrate the opening of the new gallery and, as always, give photographers the opportunity to exhibit their work in a gallery.”
The Glasgow Gallery of Photography CIC is an independent non-profit gallery for photography established in 2015, which aims to support photographers from all areas of society.
Part one of the exhibition will show until June 4.
Part two runs 11 am – 5 pm from June 8 to June 19 at 57 Glassford Street Glasgow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
