Zeal Photography Exhibition
Zeal Education Trust
Early December
Exhibition
Hi there!
We are looking for a venue to host Zeal Education Trust's end of year exhibition for our Photography Course.
There will be six young photographers participating (aged between 13 and 18 years old), with between four and six photographs each.
We would hope to use the whole space to host the exhibition for a full week, and have one evening booked for an opening night. We are really interested in the idea of other people/organisations/events using the space in the evenings (and maybe even during the day) while the exhibition is up. I was at 19 Tory Street for an event recently and was intrigued by the idea.
We haven't yet decided on a theme or concept for the exhibition (as we decide this with the students), but we could collaborate together to decide on something relevant to other users of the venue around the time we are proposing (late November/Early December).
We're all good to hang the exhibition ourselves, and we would be happy to mind the space each day and are able to open and lock up. We take care of all advertising and the organising and running of opening nights.
The Photography Course at Zeal provides an avenue for young people to cultivate creativity and grow their passion for photography. Through photography, we help young people build their own self-confidence and self-worth.
I feel like joining with you and using this space for our exhibition could open up doors for more collaboration between Zeal and the Concerned Citizens Collective in the future - we love your ethos and would love to work together.
Thanks

I wrote to Lehi telling him no-one could commit to liaising this far out and we'd be super keen to hear from him in the second half of the year.

Lehi got in touch again on this. Anyone keen to help host a well organised yoof photo event?

Hey @murdoch do they still want to do it in December and want a definition now? if so I'm happy to liaise but I'm not sure about my time availability then

This is the most recent email: I run a photography course for young people (aged 13-18) and am on the look out for an exhibition space for our upcoming end of year show. We are looking at holding a week-long exhibition in mid-to-late November/early December.
I was wondering if these dates would suit - we of course would be happy with other groups using the space while our show is up. And if so, what the cost would be.

This is eleven months away... if someone is super keen I'll give them a few days to speak up, but my gut is that we can't offer any certainty this far out. In related news, the real estate folks are showing someone who is interested in the space around on Monday at 10.30am. I've informed them that if they want us to move out they'll need to give the full three months notice.
