Exhibition Sponsors 2018
We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our many sponsors who have made the 35th Annual Photographic Exhibition a huge success. Without your continued support this would not be possible.
Also a big thank you to the members of our finance committee and others for their trojan work in sourcing the sponsorship. It is well worth the effort and we invite you all to visit us during the Arts Festival to view the wonderful exhibition of photography.
