MoPA’s 3rd Annual Youth Exhibition
Writing with Light:
Call for Entries!
As part of the Museum of Photographic Arts’ new vision to become an institution for visual learning and to support the museum’s education programs, MoPA is proud to present this year’s third youth exhibition entitled Writing with Light on view from September 13 to December 4, 2008. The exhibition will illustrate the connections between photography and literacy using the photographic arts as inspiration. San Diego students in grades K-12 are invited to submit photographs to the exhibition.
Inspired by the exhibition, A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography, which will be on view concurrently, the youth exhibition, serves as a great opportunity to recognize talented students across San Diego County. By linking the subject of photography with writing, Writing with Light provides students an opportunity for expression through both a visual and narrative connection. A jury of museum staff, docents, and field professionals will select the final photographs to be exhibited in September 2008. The exhibition will hang alongside A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography and will bring together the significance of viewing photography fundamentally through writing, while offering a new way of looking at the medium.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the exhibition, please feel free to contact me. A submission packet with entry forms is enclosed in this email. All entries must be received by June 1, 2008.
Best,
Marisa
