Residents of North West Tasmania are invited to take part in PORTAL, a unique community photography project presented by Devonport Regional Gallery.
Now in its second year, PORTAL enters us into the many moments that make up our lives on the North West coast of Tasmania, through your lens.
Participants agree to take and share one photograph from their day in the North West of Tasmania on Saturday 2 January 2016 with the Gallery. Each photograph will be used in a public exhibition between 22 – 31 January 2016, capturing 24 hours of life on the coast by the people in the community.
PORTAL was launched in November 2014, capturing life in North West Tasmania on Saturday 3 January 2015. The exhibition included 52 photographs from residents and visitors to the area, and was hailed as a huge success by organisers, Devonport Regional Gallery.
“Photography is so accessible nowadays, with many of us using our smartphones to capture and share photos from our day to day activities with friends and networks online throughout the world. PORTAL celebrates this practice, but in a unique way that showcases the many experiences we have living in this small part of the world.” – Dianne Sheehan, Education & Public Programs Officer, Devonport Regional Gallery
Registrations open Monday 16 November, 9am and everyone in the community, no matter what their age, is eligible to participate. Register online at devonportgallery.com or phone the Gallery on 6424 8296.
