photo access 40th Birthday Celebration

Come join photo access’s 40th birthday extravaganza, celebrating four decades of creative brilliance in photography, film, and media arts! Attendees can explore the vibrant history with afternoon-to-night celebrations like no other, filled with engaging activities and the opening of the Dark Matter exhibition.

The theme of the night is 1984, whether that’s the brightly coloured, big hair and big shoulder pads style of the 80s or the Big Brother dystopian world of George Orwell’s 1984!

Get hands-on with a range of activities—make a cyanotype sun print, capture a moment with a large format portrait, and explore the magic of scratch film. As evening falls, delve into the Dark Matter exhibition, featuring works from their Dark Matter residents, complete with artist talks and demonstrations. Don’t miss the AI slideshow tracing their rich 40-year history and exclusive T-shirt designs.

Grab a bite, a frozen margarita, and join for some very special birthday celebrations. Plus, enter the raffle for a chance to win prizes. Come be a part of this special celebration and help honour the community and history as Australia’s longest-running photography organisation!

This is a free event, but attendees are asked to register attendance.
