In the fall of 2008, The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative Gallery partnered with The Charlottesville Boys and Girls Club and the Albemarle County Schools to host an on-going youth photo workshop in the Latino Community of Southwood. This workshop gives students the opportunity to learn digital photography skill while working on a variety of personal projects. Approximately 10 volunteers consisting of local photographers and county officials dedicated 8 Saturdays working with youth, grades 5th through 9th. Many corporations such as Crutchfield Electronics and the Piedmont Housing Alliance generously donated cameras and supplies to the project. I had the priveledge of working with these incredible kids and look forward to continue working with them on future workshops in the neighborhood.The above pic is a screen capture from The Bridge Progressive Arts flickr website.
