Third Floor Gallery is an independent charitable〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Third Floor Gallery Trust register at the Charity Commission )〕 photography gallery in Cardiff Bay, Wales. It opened in 2010 and predominantly features documentary photography, often premiering new work with the direct involvement of the photographers. The gallery was set up and initially run by its founding trustees, photographers Maciej Dakowicz and Joni Karanka, and later photographer Bartosz Nowicki, with help from volunteers.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】About The Gallery )〕 ==Details== In January 2010 founding trustees photographers Maciej Dakowicz and Joni Karanka invested £1000 each to cover a quarter of the lease and the service charges for a loft in Bute Street, Cardiff Bay.〔 Third Floor Gallery opened on 12 February 2010 with an exhibition by Peter Dench.〔 From the beginning volunteers helped sustain the gallery with donations of money, and with help hanging exhibitions and staffing.〔 Within the first year of operation, Bartosz Nowicki joined as third trustee and they received charitable status.〔 The gallery continues to be self-run and self-financed. Rather than being grant funded, it is financed through a variety of grassroots sources - it receives financial donations from visitors;〔 some of those involved in its running auction off their own photographs;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New gallery opens in city )〕 donations are solicited via requests through Internet social networking services; and the photographer of each exhibition donates an object from or related to it that is auctioned off. They were noted for their use of social networking for engaging with visitors and volunteers at a time when that wasn't common place for galleries.〔 Notable photographers that have exhibited at Third Floor Gallery include Martin Parr, David Hurn, Tom Wood, Chris Steele-Perkins, Larry Fink, Mark Cohen, John Bulmer, Rob Hornstra, Simon Roberts, Peter Dench, Ewen Spencer, Ken Grant and Vanessa Winship.〔Love in a cold climate.
