Dear all,
Pop in for photography and music this June to ward off the winter blues, and stop by for other events and classes.
The youth photographers of IMAgEN8 believe that human wellbeing is more important than artificial intelligence. They believe that real photography has significant benefits for students and the community. The youth of IMAgEN8 are 8 – 18 so come and see what they have to say through their images and words. The exhibition opens at 9.00am on Monday 10 June and closes 2.00pm Saturday 22 June. Opening hours are 9.00am – 1.00pm Monday to Friday and 10.00am – 2.00pm Saturday and Sunday.
