May 23 – June 5, 2019
The ninth year of Teen Photo culminates with epiphany, an exhibition featuring 60 Philadelphia high school students.
Teen Photo is a free afterschool program for Philadelphia public high school students. From September to May, students are provided with full access to PPAC’s equipment, materials, and teaching staff, as well as a DSLR camera to take home for the duration of the program. Students are divided into four sections, and meet weekly with dedicated mentors to share photos, learn technical skills, and go on art museum visits and photo walks. As the teens expand their thinking both critically and creatively, they build confidence and develop a love of learning that helps them grow in every aspect of their lives.
To accompany the exhibition and commemorate the 2018-19 Teen Photo program, postcard books of the students’ work will be available for purchase. Each section of Teen Photo will have its own book.
