Popular Local Photography Exhibition Gets Festival Backing

The Viewfinder Photographic Society’s (VPS) annual exhibition gets underway once again later this year.

For the first time will be held in association with the Hull International Photography Festival that starts on 4th October 2019.

Figures show that visitor numbers have steadily increased over the last decade and the exhibition in Skidby has established itself as a popular community event, attracting people of all ages who like to come and browse the pictures, vote for their favourite images and sometimes buy a gift from one of the stalls selling cards and prints.

David Marshall, VPS Chairman said: “The appeal of the exhibition over the years clearly demonstrates just how much interest there is in the printed image. The photographs on display illustrate the talent we have right on our doorstep and we’re delighted that HIP Fest has invited us to be part of their celebration of photography”.

Once again, the Society has also been invited to take their exhibition to the East Riding Community Hospital in Beverley for patients and visitors to enjoy, so anyone that can’t see the exhibition in Skidby will have another opportunity later in the year.

The club, which has a waiting list, provides a place for members to learn more about their photography by being with others who share their passion.

Exhibition opening times:
Friday 4th October 2019 10.00am – 5.00pm
Saturday 5th October 2019 10.00am – 5.00pm
Sunday 6th October 2019 10.00am – 5.00pm
