A free photographic exhibition showing 366 photographs of the north Kent market town of Faversham which builds a photographic record of the town's everyday life day by day from 1st July 2007 to 30th June 2008 is being staged in the town's Drill Hall.

Organiser, Nathalie Banaigs, a French-born resident of Faversham and amateur photographer started working on the project in the summer of 2007 by taking one picture each day, and gradually encouraging more fellow photographers to join in.

This innovative exhibition, of both artistic and historical value, will show the Faversham of today portrayed by 52 photographers. The 366 photographs each highlight a specific moment in time.

Profits from the sales of a catalogue published as a souvenir of the exhibition will be donated to two local charities: the Faversham Society (http://www.faversham.org/society) whose concerns are the welfare of the town and its surroundings and to the Kent Wildlife Trust (www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk), conservation organisation aiming to protect wildlife across Kent.

A Year in the Life of Faversham will open to the public from 30th August to 7th September between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm at the Drill Hall, Preston Street, Faversham, ME13 8PG.
