#uncrated - teen curation experience

from uncrated to curated
The Southeast Museum of Photography’s teen curation program, UNCRATED, gives local students the opportunity to create an exhibition featuring works by contemporary artists.
Students work closely as a team to create an immersive exhibition that highlights details about both the artists and their works. Students benefit from a multifaceted approach–learning about traditional roles in a museum, creative problem-solving techniques, and the production (planning, research and design) that all take place behind-the-scenes.
Interested in LEARNING what it's all about?
To qualify, applicants must be high school students in grades 9–12. Applicants must also be available to meet at Daytona State College on select Wednesdays or Thursdays, from 4-5:30pm.
community education workshops
select saturdays, 9:30am - 4:30pm
The Southeast Museum of Photography offers a number of seminars and workshops designed for adults of all ages and skill levels. These workshops are for individuals who wish to learn more about photography, but may not necessarily wish to pursue it as a career.
Workshops can include topics such as the preservation of family photographs, archiving and cataloging, basic digital camera operations and composition techniques, and even intermediate to advanced lighting and editing techniques. Due to limited space, advance registration and payment is required.
Art in action: VETERANS EXPLORING THE VISUAL ARTS
MEETS ON SELECT OCCASIONS AND FOR SPECIAL EVENTS*
Participants create custom Chemigrams in the darkroom under the guidance and supervision of acclaimed photographer Nolan Preece.
Veterans are provided with free art materials, and classes are structured so that with each new concept or medium to explore, participants can create and finish a complete work of art. These small-group sessions allow veterans to meet and learn from professional artists, to discover and cultivate their own talents, and to transform their experiences through the thoughtful and therapeutic form of self-expression.
Shoot and share
FREE TEEN PHOTOGRAPHY OUTING
This program gives teens an opportunity to photograph as a group while receiving feedback and advice on camera exposure and composition techniques. There is no charge for this program, but participants are expected to bring their own cameras and arrange for their own transportation. Spaces are limited, so registration is required in advance along with a completed off-campus field trip form.

Through a blend of artist talks, demonstrations, slideshows and even workshops, this program offers audiences the opportunity to learn about—and discuss in detail—aspects of photography, image-making and potential career opportunities.
