Viewpoint Gallery is the holding place of some great contemporary photography. Located on the south end of Barrington Street, (Across from Bearlys) this a spot that features artists from all over Nova Scotia in a variety of styles and perspectives.
The gallery is a co-op of roughly 40 photographers, who volunteer their time and work to display/ sell. Exhibitions seem to change frequently, and whether its solo or group showings, the viewpoint is forever fresh. There are guest shows a few times a year as well, where non-members are chosen to contribute work.
The space is much more powerful on the inside than I expected, and it is the perfect parallel to contemporary work displayed. Bright white walls, polished wood floors and great lighting allow for prime viewing.
A gallery strictly dedicated to the realms of photography is a nice niche to have. Run by artists, run on passion, incomers can expect fresh and inspired finds. read more
