Background to the Bowes MuseumNew Light Exhibition and Prize
We were lucky to get in and see the last day of the the New Light Prize Exhibition, which had opened in October 2015 at the Bowes Museum and now I think moves on to the Mercer Gallery in Harrogate and then onto London in June.
I only took a couple of snaps but found a link to this year’s Exhibition where all the work can be viewed on the What’s New page.

The magic in the muse is an interesting display that is on until April 2016; for any lover of Mapplethorpe, or great portrait photography, then this is a must also visit!
