Events Calendar | 2008

The ACP presents a range of events over the autumn to expand your understanding of contemporary photography. Our Gallery Talks allow audiences to hear first-hand from the artists and curators in the exhibition program. Afternoon Teas are relaxed and informal panel discussions focussing on key issues in photomedia. In Talking Shop events, established photographers talk in-depth about their practice.
