PhotoForward arts and media programs empower artists of all ages to share their own stories through photography, visual arts, community art, and creative writing. Since the program was launched by Allison Milewski, we have provided hundreds of children and adult learners in under-served communities with the opportunity to explore their cultures, express their experiences, and raise their voices. With cameras in their hands and the skills to create images that reflect their world, our artists are documenting their lives from their own perspectives and celebrating their community's history, while defining its future. Our programs provide comprehensive instruction in the arts through a dynamic curriculum that promotes literacy and encourages self-exploration and active community engagement as citizen artists. Our programs are successful because they are sustainable. Each project is developed in partnership with a local organization and includes professional development training and resources for our partners, so they can continue to provide arts-based community programs long into the future. |
