From the website: “Pavilion is a visual arts commissioning agency that collaborates with artists and audiences to make exceptional new works of art, using photography and digital lens based media. Pavilion was formally established in 1983 as a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. Initially, Pavilion was a gallery-based organisation concerned with the promotion and exhibition of photography engaged with critical feminist discourses. Pavilion developed into a women’s only membership enterprise and at this time was renamed Pavilion Women’s Photography Centre. During this period the company was closely aligned with the debates of the women’s movement and was especially proactive in its commitment to black women artists. In 1998, the company revised its charitable objectives, to extend its remit beyond women only and subsequently widen its audiences. It was at this time that the company reverted to being simply ‘Pavilion’.”
