Community Workshops
with The Hive of Nelsonville
Teacher: Josh Birnbaum
In addition to the annual summer camp, we hosted two weeks of photography workshops at The Hive of Nelsonville, a drop-in creative space for school-age youth in the community. Participants were able to experiment with both instant and digital photography. They were able to keep their instant photos, and their digital photos were printed for them to take home as well. The workshops consisted of camera instruction, slideshows, photo sharing, assignments, and fun field trips.
Over the course of the workshops, approximately 90 kids were able to enjoy the transformative power of the arts with us! Their work will be exhibited in the Gillespie Gallery of the Mary Hill Youth & Family Center in Nelsonville and at the Appalachian Literary Arts and Storytelling Festival. Thanks to the Hive and Integrated Services for being an amazing partner.
