My City My Story Is Now Seeking Students!
The Logo For My City My Story
My City My Story is a Toronto-based photography residency created by The Young Visionaries’ Strategic Consultant, Kate Fraser.
Kate helped to develop The Young Visionaries and her organization involves 10 young artists. My City My Story students are given a forum to share resources, take advantage of mentorship and they are also provided with critical feedback, so as to develop a series of photographs about community, identity or social justice.
The space is supplemented with knowledge sharing by like-minded artists and educators from academic, community and industry backgrounds. Over 6 months the group will explore their personal connection to their art form and subjects and build their technical skills through the creation of deeply felt works produced with the highest standard of artistic integrity.
The program will culminate in a group show in the 2013 Scotia Bank Contact Photography Festival.
All Toronto-based youth that are interested in becoming a part of My City My Story should download and fill out the following application form!: tinyurl.com/9wytonf.
All applications are due on Sunday, September 30th!
