New Englanders Underwater (NEUW)
Press Release

Last year’s NEUW show blew people away!  From divers to art patrons, people around New England were overwhelmed by what became the largest display of underwater photography in the area.  Since that show, we have completely reworked the exhibit space to not only improve the traffic flow through the gallery but, with the addition of a $12,000 lighting upgrade we are far better positioned to showcase your photographs.

We are just wrapping up a hugely successful show that introduced Southern New England to the “New Dryden Gallery”.  The reviews have been positive and the reviewers are looking for us to continue the momentum in our next exhibit.  Providence news stations and the Providence Journal are touting the exhibit space as “must see”.  Nationally recognized artists have contacted the gallery attempting to secure a venue for their work.

We want to grow New Englanders Underwater to the largest annual exhibition of underwater photography on the East coast.  For that, we need your help! Please, post this on your websites, tell your friends about the show, let other photographers know about your involvement, announce this at your dive club meetings, ask us to host your club’s meeting while the exhibit is in place!
