Photo Opportunity: A fantastic array of photographs from around the world will be on display at Charnwood Museum when it hosts The Royal Photographic Society Members' Exhibition for 2009. Roger Wilson, the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council, together with, Councillor Roy Brown, the Mayor of Charnwood will welcome invited guests, including the President of the Royal Photographic Society, Rosemary Wilman, to a special preview event. The event for invited guests only will be at Charnwood Museum on Friday 6th November. (Photographers are welcome to attend at around 7pm)
The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday 7th November and is on until 24th December 2009.
The Royal Photographic Society, founded in 1853, is the foremost Photographic Society in the world and its aim is to promote excellence in the Art and Science of Photography. The society is an educational charity with a worldwide membership of over 10,000 and in 2004 it became a body incorporated by Royal Charter. Since 2003 the society has held a Members' Exhibition every second year.
Entries for the 2009 Members' Exhibition were submitted from around the globe, and the 100 prints that were selected by the judges, showcase the diverse styles and techniques adopted across the membership and the high quality of their work.
Local members of the society have also been invited to the launch.
Roger Wilson, the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council, said:
"It is a great honour for us to be hosting such a prestigious exhibition here at Charnwood Museum. This is the first time we have provided a venue for the Royal Photographic Society and it is a pleasure to welcome so many local members of the society to the museum."
Councillor Roy Brown, Mayor of Charnwood, added:
"The exhibition acknowledges the work of many highly talented photographers and it is amazing to see the variety and skill in the photographs on display. I am sure that visitors to this exhibition will enjoy it."
