The Photographic Resource Center is proud to offer our popular two week summer intensive program, ChallengeTHIS | Possibilities in Photography.

This program welcomes all high school students who are interested in photography as a form of artistic expression. The students will have the opportunity to create, discuss, and work on individual projects as well as view and interpret photography by contemporary artists. Students will also take field trips to other galleries and museums in the neighborhood. For more inspiration, students will interact with highly acclaimed visiting artist photographers.

ChallengeTHIS is a unique summer program that provides students with a creative platform to contemplate the visual and critical complexities of the world around them. With this program we hope to instill limitless imaginative thinking and curiosity towards decoding, producing, and showcasing images.

ChallengeTHIS will meet five days a week for two consecutive weeks. The culminating event will include a reception and showcase the work produced by the students, held on Friday, July 20, from 3-5pm at the Photographic Resource Center. Family and friends are invited.
