This initiative is by John Crofts, Amy Wright, Daniel Vitruvian, and David Segrave.

The gallery, which opens tomorrow FEB 1 from noon, is at the Co-Innovation centre at Dover's Stembrook.

Mr Crofts said: "The gallery is mainly in a back room and the pictures shown will be rotated.

"Dover Photography Club will have space for their images within a few weeks."

Mr Crofts is also a member of a drama company called Primal Clay Theatre.

It will put on a production of Shakespeare's Macbeth in a stage area at the rear of the gallery.

Performance dates are not yet confirmed but they are expected to be this May.

The building is on the site of the former Co-operative foodstore, which closed in February 2017.

It was formally reopened as Co-Innovation, for small independent traders, last March.
