Third Floor Gallery

Opening night of The North by John Bulmer, 2011

Third Floor Gallery was an independent charitable photography gallery in Cardiff Bay, Wales that operated from 2010[1][2] to 2016.[citation needed] It predominantly featured documentary photography,[2] often premiering new work with the direct involvement of the photographers.[3]

Third Floor Gallery was set up and initially run by photographers Maciej Dakowicz and Joni Karanka, and later photographer Bartosz Nowickii, with help from volunteers.[3][4][5][6] It continued to be self-run with volunteer staff[3] and was self-financed through various grassroots sources.[2][7] It was noted for its use of social networking for engaging with visitors and volunteers at a time when that was not common place for galleries.[6]

Photographers that exhibited at Third Floor Gallery include Martin Parr, David Hurn, Tom Wood, Chris Steele-Perkins,[8][9] Larry Fink, Mark Cohen, John Bulmer, Rob Hornstra,[10] Simon Roberts, Peter Dench, Ewen Spencer, Ken Grant and Vanessa Winship.[11]
