I am happy to announce that our Darkroom Group has an exhibition running right now at the Surrey Art Gallery ("SAG") in Surrey, BC Canada. All work includes either classic darkroom prints or alternative or traditional printing techniques.
The exhibition is on display in the Surrey Arts Centre at the Bear Creek Park location, namely:
13750 88 Avenue
Surrey, BC V3W 3L1
The exhibition space is located in the public gathering areas that serve as a lobby and gathering area (with coffee and snacks available for purchase during some hours) in the central part of the complex. If you book tickets to a show or meeting there, the exhibition is in the gathering area outside of the auditorium.
The exhibition space is also open for free public viewing during the following times:
Correction: Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday: 4 pm - 7 pm; Saturday: 10am - 3 pm.
The exhibition is scheduled to run until February 13, 2022.
Here is the link to the description of the exhibition on the SAG website: https://www.surrey.ca/arts-culture/surrey-art-gallery/exhibitions/joy-of-photographic-print
Current BC COVID-19 protocols apply. Masks and social distancing are mandatory, as are the usual rules about not attending while sick, after Covid 19 exposure or out of country travel, but for exhibition viewing vaccine certificates are not asked for.
Of the ten of our group who are displaying work, at least six of us are Photrio members.
That includes sly (Lillian Sly), steelbar (Bruce McCaughey), bluejeh (Judith Higham), bluejeh2 (Ed Higham), PhotoBob (Bob St. Cyr) and MattKing (myself, Matthew King).
The current, rather restrictive viewing hours reflect current realities. SAG has scheduled an "opening" celebration for this and other exhibitions on January 22, 2022. They are hopeful that they will be able to be open to the public by then with hours much closer to pre-pandemic times.
There are 31 prints on display. We hope that you get the chance to come and see them.
We would like to thank the curating staff at the SAG for their efforts and energy in support of this exhibition, with particular thanks to Rhys Edwards there.
And I would be remiss if I didn't extend a particular thanks to our "fearless leaders", Judith Higham and Ed Higham, for all the extra work they did in coordinating this and making a group exhibition possible when we couldn't even meet as a group, save and except over Zoom.
Here is a snippet of the exhibition, captured quickly yesterday evening during my first visit:
