Description
ViewPoint Gallery is an artist-run co-operative dedicated to inspiring, engaging, educating and promoting the art of photography. ViewPoint Gallery presents a dynamic approach to the display of photography with a mixture of solo and group exhibitions. The Gallery continually displays work by all its members, and showcases individual members through solo exhibitions, accompanied by artist talks, presentations and other events. In addition to the solo shows there is one guest exhibition and several group exhibitions shown each year. Founded in July, 2000, ViewPoint Gallery began as a collaboration between photographers and printmakers who desired a Halifax gallery space in which to display their work. Initially a major component of the gallery, printmaker membership dwindled over time, until in 2006, after 2 years without printmaker members, the gallery formally shifted to focusing on promoting fine art photography exclusively.
