Queensland Centre for Photography facts for kids
The Queensland Centre for Photography (QCP) was a special place for photographers and art lovers. It was run by artists and showed amazing photos from 2004 to 2014.
The QCP had to close its doors in Brisbane. This happened because the Queensland state government stopped giving it important funding in October 2013. The people in charge of the QCP decided together in April 2014 that they had to close their exhibition space.
