Gallery Raw: Newcastle House of Photography Re-opens! [24.06.2010]

Gallery Raw operated from January – November 2009 as one of the first Renew Newcastle projects. Just prior to Christmas last year they had to vacate their GPT owned shopfront in the mall to make way for a commercial tenant.

The gallery had been true success for its operators and for the photographic community in Newcastle – offering cheap exhibition space in a gallery entirely dedicated to photography – so they were keen to set up in a new location.

The new shopfront at 202 King St is a little smaller than their first site, but they aren’t short on ideas on how to use the space and have a string of exhibitions by local photographers planned for the rest of the year.

Next Friday 2 July they will celebrate the the re-opening of Gallery RAW, Newcastle House of Photography, with an official launch of two exhibitions:

“InTeReSt” a debut exhibition by Joe Hudson.

This combination of work is truly unique in that not one item has been photoshopped or altered during printing so that every print is exactly as seen through the lens and totally the original work.

Joe states “I hope to bring honesty to my photography and trust that all my work will be enjoyed by those purists who place integrity high on their agenda”.

“Fable on a string“ by Michelle Groth and Geniveve Carr, two of Newcastle’s most up and coming photographic talents.

Exhibition period: Friday 2 July – Sunday 1 August 2010

Opening Night: Friday 2 July

Time: 7pm

Location: 202 King Street, Newcastle (opposite the Greater Union Tower Cinemas)

All are welcome!
