Student Summer Camp Reception Tonight!

Come down to Viewpoint Gallery between 6-8pm to enjoy the works of the “graduating” students who took part in Viewpoint’s Summer Photography Camp! There will be lots of different, fresh photographs, and the photographers themselves!

Artist’s Talk by Colin Campbell

Colin’s topic: The metamorphosis of an exhibit – How the show “Metamorphosis” evolved.

Visit from East Coast School of Languages

Two representatives from the East Coast School of Languages dropped by the Gallery this afternoon to introduce themselves. The school will be opening soon nearby, and they were introducing themselves to local businesses. They left a letter, which is at our front desk. They thought ViewPoint Gallery would be a great place to bring their students for an interesting learning experience.

New Photography Camp Session

The new group of students started today for the second installment of our summer camp. Its raining today, but I am sure they will still get some good shots. There is also still room in the group that starts tomorrow. Visit our website: viewpointgallery. Their work will be on display in two weeks. I am looking forward to seeing it.

Metamorphosis is UP – Opening Tomorrow

“Metamorphosis” is not intended to denote any taxonomy of rocks, but rather to evoke the transformations that give geological features their visual impact.

According to Colin: “It is precisely the process of change that gives or reveals the colour, texture, and form that make rock so compelling a subject for art photography.” The majority of prints in the exhibit were captured in Nova Scotia – from Brier Island to Cape Breton Island as well as the American Southwest.

Opening Reception Thursday, August 4th at 6pm
Artist Talk Sunday, August 14th at 2pm

I haven’t been to the Gallery yet to see Colin’s work on the walls, but I am sure it looks awesome. The weather has been scaring me away from riding downtown. However, despite what is called for tomorrow I will be at the opening, and so should everyone else!

Looking forward to it.

Tuesday at the Gallery

When I came in today I was happy to see the summer student work is still up in the gallery – and it is still looking good. I would encourage everyone to come see the talent that has emerged from ViewPoint’s first summer camp.

For a day that looks like it is going to pour rain at any minute there has been a fairly steady flow of visitors — and most of them “amateur” photographers — if not Gallery members. I think ViewPoint needs to get the word out on the next print review. Its not until September, but I think it would be a fantastic thing to see some coming out of photographers who may not think they are “good” enough.
