Situation
Photography is for everyone. Yet engaging more deeply with photography can be a struggle for some. Financial barriers, lack of exposure or community, and limited resources can prevent people from getting involved with photography, art and culture. Opening up more education and professional development opportunities in photography is crucial to boost creativity and personal growth. Everyone needs to have access, take part and benefit from what photography offers.
Solution
Your donations will help us to support the work of photographers and artists; work with teachers in schools in low-income areas; and boost access to our exhibitions for a wide range of people. We’ll do this through: - Creating a supportive creative community with regular advice and networking sessions, portfolio reviews, courses and workshops - Offering free bursary places on our courses and workshops to anyone facing barriers to getting involved - Being a welcoming space for teachers to come together, talk shop and share new ways to use photography in the classroom - Delivering exhibition tours in British Sign Language for d/Deaf visitors - Providing audio descriptions within our exhibitions, and creating exhibition tours, for blind/partially sighted visitors
