Luckily we had decided on an initial starting theme of culture and in a group talk the 'Capital of Culture' came into conversation. It was previously held in Liverpool in 2008 which is how a few of us were aware of it. We decided to investigate if and where it would be held in 2014.
After a quick search online we discovered Umea in Sweden was named along Riga in Latvia. We decided to go with Latvia and then began out search for a venue!
Our next step was to find a venue in Riga to hold the festival. This was proving difficult at first, and as a group we decided to move on and research this at home and bring all the ideas to the Facebook group. In the end we decided to go with a venue Rachel had found.Riga City Exhibition Hall "Riga Art Space" It had three great rooms we could make great use of and also where it was set, we could possibly have an outdoor exhibition.

We decided we will hire out the main room to hold all 60 images.
Were also going to hire out one other room for the social side of the event and to hold all the small prints on sale.
