Monster Truck on Francis St, D8, are open to this kind of thing aswell, there's been a few (film only) photographic exhibitions there. La Cathedral, down the road from it is another fantastic space. Loads of soft natural light.
One of my dislikes about exhibiting in DCC is everything has to be so uniform - Some people print big, some people print small - some people don't want black mounts, and hell, some people might even like a tacky frame
As regards the name, 'APUG Ireland Region Annual Exhibition 2009' works well as a subtitle, but something a bit more bold and stand-outish is great for attention grabbing, even a single word that could cover everything...

Would I be right in saying the DCC exhibition space only opens on Saturdays anyway? I wouldn't rule it out for this reason but it is a disadvantage ...
I agree. I like the "Pure Silver" name ......
I like the idea of exhibiting our silver craft slap bang in the dragons inkjet lair 
Seriously DCC as a venue is not ideal for opening hours but it is a great venue to have. We might even poach a few back to the dark side
Pure Silver is cool with me

Apug Ireland presents "Pure Silver" sounds great to me.
DCC doesn't sound so good if only open on Saturdays but they do run a lot of successfull exhibitions as far as I know, so maybe Vincent can advise us more on how they have gone down in the past?

Yeah, the reality is we may not end up with much of a choice due to availability so let's just keep coming up with suggestions and then see what pans out.
There is also the Joinery in Smithfield. Never been in it but I do know they hold regular enough photographic exhibitions ....

I have also heard about this Monster Truck place but know little about it. Can you get more info for us Fajitas?

They seem to be booked up until the end of the year except for the first week or so in November ......

Monstertruck is a fine gallery but quite small so it might limit the size of the exhibition or frames, they used to rent it out for exhibitions generally for a couple of days say Thursday to Saturday. We had a Holga show there with Photography Ireland, very successful few days.
Yep, it only opens on Saturdays during the day, which I'd feel is a bit of a disadvantage. Generally opening nights in Dublin are Thursdays or the odd Friday, which brings out a lot of the 'artier crowd'.
It is indeed a wee bit small, but if was a photo a person, I reckon it would work. Again, depending on sizes. They're generally good folk to work with, but if they're booked out, they're booked out

When it loads, click on "The Back Loft" for some info and pics on the exhibition space. It's a really nice space, I guess you could call it rustic charm - some cracks and holes in the walls, and so on. As far as I know, it's not near as busy as Monster Truck, but I could be wrong with that.
I do think this place might be worth a shot ...

Oh yeah and I seem to remember being at a DCC exhibition about 2-3 years ago in some venue beside the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. I could be way off here. Tex??

Talked to Joinery today, they are a contemporary art space, the contemporary bit was stressed, as an example she said they would not show say " documentary photography". No rants please ! Suggested we send in a proposal with some images and she would make contact in a week or two , outlining costs and conditions if they were interested. Reading between the lines I know our photography is not what they like to show, but in my experience these galleries need to survive and mainstream photography is appreciated as much if not more than most forms of contemporary photography or art so it might still be worth submitting a proposal.
Checked out monstertruck and like Alan said they have a week free in November 2009 , most of their exhibitions are now two weeks. I was talking to Peter from the gallery, very friendly, who said their approach again was moving more towards the contemporary but he had a more open approach than Joinery. I put the emphasis on the film angle. The gallery is small made up of two rooms with a half dividing wall. Its such an informal space, very informal you could easily hang 40+ small to medium prints. Like joinery they would need to see the work. The cost would be €500 for the week. Marketing and help with design and layout is provided. We would need to check if they take a further commission and require our help in manning the exhibition.
If we are going to try secure either of these galleries we need to make some quick decisions and get some scans together.
Why is Dundrum not an option this year ??.

I think you should. At least we know whether it's an option then ...
Good work Eddie, by the way! Food for thought ....
I would Fintan, might be the easiest option the fact you know the galley well. I know you did a lot of work last year with Peter but it should be easier second time around.
It's a long shot Eddie, it was agreed in january and unfortunately we're nearly at june. But theres no harm in trying.
Peter's a good guy, as is Niall (That's if Niall is still working there). I'd be on good talking terms with both, and a few other folk involved in there.
If there's more interest in Monster Truck, I might pop up in a bit.
If there's work to be done on a proposal, I'll gladly do my bit, but I'll be quite tied up with a rather large show of my own until late next week (Ugh... stressssss)
I was just speaking with the arts officer in Airfield and she said the situation is a bit different this year. They want to promote and give priority to exhibitions and events relating to the programs and activities which they run. This means there will be less chances for "outside groups" to run exhibitions but she did say we can still apply. A formal application needs to be made and they will then consider us. They would have space from September onwards.
That sounds positive, we could offer to do a few presentations as part of their program and run these in conjunction with the exhibition. A presentation on film photography, showing the public how to present their photographs. A darkroom workshop. Run the exhibition as part of a an overall photography weekend.
You could turn it round and say what it is. "Pure Silver" for example?
(Not that it's any of my business as I'm not in Ireland - it's just good to see people promoting analogue photography
