Among the many unique achievements of the ongoing fifth edition of the world renowned Xposure International Photography Festival, GalleryX will occupy pride of place for not only Sharjah, but the entire UAE.

To be housed at the iconic Al Majaz Amphitheatre, Gallery X will be a new permanent gallery in Sharjah, hosting a collection of the works of world-renowned photographers who have previously participated in the Xposure International Photography Festival. The initiative was launched at Xposure 2021 that concludes today (Saturday).

Gallery X emerged from a wish to offer tribute to the remarkable work that has been put in collectively by generations of photographers, which have enabled the world to put a face to breaking news, nature’s beauty and its wrath, people and their emotions, arts and life, architecture, science and medicine, music, literature – just about everything that make up our visual memories.

Award-winning images and workshops

The first-of-its-kind gallery in the UAE dedicated to the medium, Gallery X pays homage to the development of the art of visual storytelling through the ages. The gallery curation which will feature a new exhibition every month, will include stunning images captured by talented photographers who have received awards or been nominated at past editions of the prestigious Xposure International Photography Awards.

Gallery X is poised to become a new cultural and educational hotspot in the region, and aims to attract residents, international creatives, emerging talents and local youth by offering long-term exhibitions, academic programmes and workshops.

The initiative will provide a great new opportunity for all those interested in the art of photography to come together, learn, share and celebrate the gift of image making.

Unique merchandising line

Gallery X will also launch an exclusive line of merchandise sporting the Xposure brand which will include T-shirts, hoodies, caps, mugs, among other items

These items were launched at the Gallery X stall at the ongoing festival at Expo Centre Sharjah and are available for purchase.
