Sunderland Photographic Association was founded in 1888 and its Annual Exhibition has always been the highlight of each season.
As the exhibition features the best work of its members it includes a wide variety of colour and monochrome work including portraiture, landscapes, nature, street photography, still life and creative images produced by combining several photographs.
The Association meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month from September to April. More information can be found on it’s website www.sunderlandpa.com
