  "textContent": "## **'PATTERNS' exhibition opening this Friday**\n\n#### 6pm tomorrow evening – Friday 15 May – will see the opening of **_Patterns_** – a new exhibition of photographs by David Hurn, selected around the theme by the photographer from his archive of work old and new.\n\n**_Patterns_** will run from 15 May – 12 June in Clwb Ffoto in Newport Arcade with a new 52-page printed catalog accompanying the exhibition, available from the gallery. The opening event also marks the launch of **The EYE** International Photography Festival - running over Saturday in The Riverfront Theatre, and Sunday in various venues around Newport.\n\n**I hear there are various photographers coming along for the event - so come out to support the new show opening and chat!**\n\n@clwbffoto for updates\n\n* * *\n\n## **EYE FESTIVAL UPDATES...**\n\n#### The **EYE Festival** weekend is almost upon us - and there's great news for students interested in photography as a professional career path - there are now tickets available at just **£27.80 for students** studying with a valid student card!\n\nThis is probably the best deals photography students will see this year - with access to all the guest professional talks in The Riverfront venue on Saturday 16 May - with the full festival programme available to view on the EYE Festival website.\n\nI'd strongly encourage students to attend as they will not only have the opportunity to chat with these world-class guest speakers but also mix and network with other photographer attendees.
