Dear Fellow Photographers and lens based media artists!
My name is Carrie and i'm a first year Grays school of art (Aberdeen) student, however out with term time i live in Halkirk. I've been a keen photographer for quite a while now and am hoping to specialise in PEM (photographic and electronic media) next year. I'm posting because for sometime now i've been aware that Caithness Artists don't allow for photography or digital media in their annual exhibition. Therefore after much consideration i would like to propose a Caithness Photography and digital media exhibition. It's a project i am keen to undertake myself and would like to know you're thoughts as practitioners of these art forms within the county.
I believe it would be beneficial to the community and allow for celebration of these art forms which are popular and very well suited to the landscape we live in. It would encourage artists to share their work, get to know other artists, become recognised for their talents and have the oppotunity to sell their work.
It's important to me that i know that it is something that the community would want to be a part of. I have already begun contacting recognised professionals and those who have replied are supportive of the project. I have also began to look at venues and dates, rules for submission and advertising and even funding. However none of this can take place unless people are willing to participate.
I'd be very greatful to know what you think! :D
If you would like further information you can contact me via this thread or private message.
