Perth Festival of the Arts exhibition – 2020
Instead of our planned exhibition of photographic prints, this year, for obvious reasons, we can only offer this online gallery, a sample showcase of our members’ work.
As you can see, photographs taken by PPS members are varied, of a wide range of subjects, and always stylish.
