Open Now is the Photo Factory's annual open exhibition showcase. We aim to promote the work of emerging photographic artists and give them the opportunity to have their work viewed by a large audience and figures within the industry who can actually make a difference.

Open Now will be exhibited twice, once in Belfast and once in Dublin. The Belfast show will take place in our very own Gallery Nine, opening May 3rd and closing May 24th. It'll then move to Dublin, where it'll be shown in the prestigious Gallery of Photography in June.

This year we have 3 amazing judges deciding who makes the cut. They are Donovan Wylie (Magnum), Trish Lambe and Tanya Kiang (Gallery of Photography, Dublin)
