Goals
- To conduct photography workshops for 50 foster children in Detroit
- To train the children alongside local, professional photographers
- To provide each child with an album of their work
- To exhibit a collection of the children's work at a local gallery
Overview
The "Making Children Our Focus" project provides foster children in the metro Detroit area a chance to be inspired creatively through photography workshops. These workshops will teach the children a skill that can be used to not only provide income-earning potential through the sale of their prints, but also a chance to create awareness for their situation.
Each child will participate in a week-long workshop that will end with them receiving an album of their work and a chance to have their work exhibited at a local gallery.
