A Message From Open Eye Gallery: Covid-19 Update
02 November, 2020
We hope that you are keeping safe and looking after each other as we prepare for the upcoming lockdown. To protect our community, the gallery building will be closed from Thursday 05 November. Because of this, our next exhibition L— A City Through Its People will not be immediately open to the public. At a time when the country faces an uncertain future, we think it is deeply important to celebrate our local community and its resilient history, and so we will aim to have a virtual reality version of the exhibition available online by the end of next week.
Our online programme will continue to be updated over the next few weeks with free live-streamed talks and virtual exhibitions. Keep checking our What’s On page and Facebook events page for event information. You can also follow our Instagram for artist take-overs and Twitter for updates.
We recognise that isolation may be a serious health concern over the winter period, and our team will continue to work from home to provide a community resource to everyone who wishes to connect with us. Our Discord community is an online space of chat rooms open to everyone, to talk about and share photography, which you can join here. You can also download our Activity Packs for creative photography activities to try at home. We will continue to find ways to safely bring people together digitally and keep opportunities for conversation and connection open.
Thank you: stay safe, look after each other, and keep checking back for updates.
