Exhibition Officially Launched

Exhibition Launch: Tom Heenan and Cllr Gavin Chambers

The exhibition in Buckhurst Hill was officially launched last night with an evening event at Buckhurst Hill Parish Council's Information Centre, which went very well indeed. In addition to the photos of Epping Forest featured in the exhibition, there were some additional photos and a slideshow for the event, and flyers with more information about Heenan Photography.

Council chairman Gavin Chambers welcomed the guests and introduced the art project, and then I spoke a little about my photography. It was excellent to see so many people at the event in support of the exhibition, with perhaps 35 to 40 guests in attendance. Many thanks to everyone that came along, and also thanks goes to Everything Epping Forest who covered the event - their article about the launch event is featured at www,everythingeppingforest.co.uk/news.htm. For the evening event, and for the exhibition itself, the final thanks of course go to Buckhurst Hill Parish Council for making it all happen.

The photos will be on display at the Information Centre in Queens Road until June. This won't be the end of the story though; the Council are hoping to build upon the project and give other local artists the chance to exhibit their work. This will make a real difference for artists, encourage more art in the area, and make good use of existing wall space. This could be the start of something beautiful.
