Our mission
To support and promote photographic practice in our region
Formally established June 2013, The Shutter Room Collective (TSRC) aims to foster photographic practices in Northland. Our objective is to enable established and emerging photographers in Te Tai Tokerau to share knowledge and ideas, discuss their practice and explore points of connection between the work of each artist through; exhibitions, the TSRC’s Photographic Studio, social media and collaborative projects.
We are able to keep our doors open thanks to generous support from Whangarei District Council, Creative Northland, the Creative Communities Scheme and Lotteries Community Grants.
GET INVOLVED
Volunteering
Are you passionate about photography or would you like to become more involved in our Creative Community? We would love to welcome more people onto our team. We would love to hear from you if you'd like to become a gallery host, help with installing or packing down exhibitions, or if you would like to offer skills in supporting our committee with organisational tasks, or if you have a cool idea you'd like to discuss with us. Volunteering can be a great way to pick up some skills in art handling, meeting people and supporting our artists and photographers.
