MISSION STATEMENT:
Photography can change lives. Making a photograph is an inward act of self-reflection and an outward act of connection. Through photography, we find ways to speak while adding meaning and substance to our lives and, we hope, to the lives of others. The Photographer’s Eye has been created with these ideals in mind. The multifaceted language of photography allows us to create and educate, fostering the understanding of photography as an art in our community.
We are here to:
-
To bring together a Collective of passionate, caring and talented photographers for the purpose of creating a space to show fine photography in a gallery setting known as the Photographer’s Eye.
-
To make available a darkroom workspace for analog, alternative and historical process photography at our site through providing a facility available to the photography community.
-
To provide a meeting place for the exchange of ideas and in which respectful and relevant discussion of the photographic craft will take place as well as the exchange of knowledge through an on-site library.
-
To encourage teaching and learning through classes and workshops for the photographic and wider community, and to share knowledge of the craft free of cost to young people, seniors and the at-risk population.
-
To create scholarships for student photographers to encourage their growth and love of the photographic arts
