Viewpoint Gallery

I like this place. They have nice people, inside because its a co-​op, so you are dealing usually with someone who is very familiar with photography and passionate enough to talk about the work in an engaged manner. Some work is too commercial for me, but most of it is quite interesting. They support student work which is nice.
I plan to attend an upcoming show about China.

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.
