Launched just last year, the Centre for British Photography has found that it's losing its current space on Jermyn Street this month.
According to James Hyman, Founding Director and Trustee, "As we explained from the outset, Jermyn Street was a temporary space--a proof of concept--after which our plan was to move to a permanent home. For much of this year our trustees have been working on securing our permanent home and on fundraising for this. This has become more urgent than we had anticipated as the landlords have advanced their plans to develop the site in Jermyn Street and have given us notice to leave in January."
Since last January the nonprofit Centre has staged 18 exhibitions (all free of charge); exhibited more than 80 British-based photographers; held Open Calls attracting over a 1,000 submissions; hosted many talks, workshops and film screenings; attracted over 70,000 visitors and received more than 150 articles in the national and international press.
As Hyman noted, "Here in the UK, there are wonderful existing institutions that support photography. We also believe that our dedicated mission to support photographic practices in Britain--in all its diversity--is novel, different and necessary. At this important moment, as we build on our incredible year and make our vision a reality, we invite those of you who share this vision to support us and help us raise the increased funding that is now required to make this dream of a permanent home a reality."
