“Everybody love the sunshine… Just bee’s and thangs and flowers…” Roy Ayers

The AOP Gallery is hosting a Summer Exhibition showcasing the work of AOP Members and their take on the theme of Summer. The call for submissions asked photographers to submit images that evoked the spirit of Summer and the selected images definitely give a sense of the season.

The show has quite an informal feel as the framing has been left open to the exhibitors. There is a diverse range of work on show from photographers such as Simon Norfolk who has captured grand Oak trees during sunset to Tim Motion’s image of a Jazz player performing on a summer’s eve.

There will be a Summer party on Thursday 29th July to launch the exhibition, with live music and a few summer tipples and snacks, a perfect opportunity to enjoy the lighter evenings.
