Photographic Competition 2011
Sacred Spaces on the Move -Travelling Photographic Exhibition 2012.
A successful competition during the seasons of 2011 created a fine selection of photographs from established and new participants in photographic competitions. After the Launch and Prize giving at Acton Scott Working Farm Museum, the photographs were organised into a small travelling display, with photo albums and a comments book – to continue the research with the public about current ‘Sacred Spaces’.
In the late autumn it was exhibited in venues in Ludlow finishing, pre Christmas, in the Ludlow Library. The first venue of 2012 will be Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (3rd - 24th January) and from there it will be taken to Shirehall, Shrewsbury until 14th February.
If you have a space within South Shropshire where this exhibition could stand for 2 to 3 weeks please contact the CfGA office.
