SOHO photo exhibit preview

SOHO Photography Exhibit
January 25–February 2
Closing reception: Sunday, February 2, 2:00–4:00 pm

Starting Saturday, you can see some of the art created in the current session of the Space of Her Own mentorship program. The third SOHO Photography Exhibit runs January 25–February 2 and features photo narratives and artist statements from the 11 fifth-grade girls in the collaborative program between The Art League and Alexandria’s Court Service Unit.

Each photo was conceived, taken, and developed by the artist after some lessons on photography, lighting, and the darkroom. Some prints have also found their way to our Community Canvas project as a sort of preview:

The exhibit will be on view for about a week in the solo room of the Gallery, and you can also join us for the closing reception on Sunday, February 2 at 2:00 pm. You can learn more about the exhibit in our two earlier blog posts, linked above next to “read more.”

The Art League School’s Summer Art Camp is currently searching for interns for Summer 2014!  Interns act as classroom aides to over thirty working artists during the course of the summer. They are also responsible for basic camp functions such as assistance with class set ups, class coordination, and helping to evaluate the effectiveness of classes offered. Interns are trained and directly supervised by the camp coordinator. Campers range from ages 5 to 11, and art projects are done in a variety of fine art media. Interns will have the opportunity to create and teach their own lesson towards the end of the summer.

Camp begins June 16, 2014 and ends August 22, 2014. Hours are 8:30 am–4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Internships are unpaid.

A background in art is recommended. If interested, please send your resume and letter of interest noting any teaching and/or experience with children to [email protected]. Only 7 internships are available.
