Share your View! Photography Open Call - View of Yeovil

Released On 4th Mar 2023

Take a photo of your View of Yeovil for the Story of Yeovil project and be in with a chance of having your photo selected for the View of Yeovil exhibitions in May.

Yeovil Art Space is looking for modern photographs, creative, imaginative and inspiring pictures which share your View of Yeovil.

It is Free to enter and welcome to all. You can take part by sharing your photos on Instagram and Facebook* with the hashtag #ViewOfYeovil and tag @yeovilartspace. Winning images will be selected by the team at Yeovil Art Space to be exhibited in the View of Yeovil Photography exhibition in May 2023 at the community hub in the town centre. The deadline for entries is 24 March. More details on the open call are on the art charity website yeovilartspace.uk/storyofyeovil

Inspired by the South Somerset Heritage Collection which has over 6000 photographs reflecting the heritage of Yeovil, this open call will help to create a new archive of photographs made in and about Yeovil.

Yeovil Art Space tell us:
“We are looking for people to send us photos that tell their story of Yeovil, maybe street views and buildings, maybe parks and rural life. What do you want to share? We are also interested in seeing photographs that might represent different cultures, communities, beliefs and backgrounds. It doesn't have to be a 'picture postcard', but gives an essence of what Yeovil means to you. We know this open call will result in a really exciting collection and make an interesting and inspiring show to visit.”

The View of Yeovil exhibitions will open 31 May until 8 July at Yeovil Art Space and various locations around the town centre.

The Story of Yeovil project explores Yeovil’s heritage and social history through the voice of local communities, gathering stories from diverse perspectives through a series of creative activities and sharing them through three main themes: View of Yeovil, Sound of Yeovil and Taste of Yeovil. More information about the project can be found at yeovilartspace.uk/storyofyeovil and any queries can be emailed to storyofyeovil@yeovilartspace.uk *Photographs can also be emailed to storyofyeovil@yeovilartspace.uk
