An exhibition sponsored by Canvas Island kicks off next month in Newport, aiming to showcase and promote more Island talent.
Joe’s Cafe Bar and Restaurant presents an exhibition of the Island’s most established and up and coming photographers, illustrating diverse talent that the Island has to offer.
The aim is to promote innovative local photography, an art form often overlooked, despite the Island’s rich photographic heritage.
The exhibition opens with a private viewing on Wednesday 3 December starting 7.30pm and continues until around 7th January 2009
