Last Month, North York Arts and Snapd North York continued with our community Snapd photo project initiative with youth from Downsview Library! As part of Cultural Hot Spot North York, youth learned the basics of photography in a one day workshop facilitated by professional photographer Brittany Carmichael. Brittany is a Canadian Born artist currently living in Toronto. She recently graduated from School of Visual Arts in New York City with an MFA in Photography, Video, and Related Media. Her work has taken her from the library to the boxing ring, across borders and into many communities around the world. Participants took photos of their community and hub spaces, showcasing their community through their eyes. They received hands-on training and feedback from Brittany throughout the day. Big thanks to Brittany Carmichael for all her help and of course to our three youth participants Alicia, Marco, and Brianna for all their amazing shots!
