Latest example shown is the Lower Gallery half of the KCPA Photographic Exhibition (03-15/05/22).
Since adapting to the pandemic the Lower Gallery has been used more as a workshop teaching space, but is still available for exhibitions that can fit around other bookings on the calendar. This multi-use space continues to host an exciting array of classes, short-courses, workshops, presentations, meetings, photo shoots, recordings and many other activities in addition to exhibitions.
