All funds raised from tickets sales to the 2019 Loud and Luminous Symposium will be used to pay 5 selected artists a ‘Stipend’ to assist with the costs associated with producing new photo-based work to exhibit in the PhotoAccess Huw Davies Gallery in 2020.

PhotoAccess in consultation with Loud and Luminous, will select 5 artists from the Loud and Luminous 2019 exhibition to collaborate with PhotoAccess. These 5 artists will work with PhotoAccess throughout 2019/20 to produce new work for a group exhibition, curated by PhotoAccess in consultation with Loud and Luminous, in the Huw Davies Gallery in 2020.
