Memorial Exhibition - Margaret Benyon
In honour of Margaret Benyon, who died last year, Jonathan Ross has organising a party and memorial exhibition, on Saturday January 21st from 5.30 – 8.30pm at Gallery 286, London.
Key holographers from science, industry and the arts have been invited to celebrate Margret's achievements.
Margaret was a former Chair of the Royal Photographic Society Holography Group and a dear friend to many in the holography community. The group disbanded last year and some of the remaining resources have been used to mount this fitting tribute to the Margaret Benyon MBE.
