Final weeks of The Viewfinder Project




Don't miss your chance to check out Youth Art Team's photography exhibition, The Viewfinder Project, in its final weeks at the Waterloo Center for the Arts.

Youth Art Team used photography to help people of all ages see life differently, challenging them to use creative thinking in becoming community change makers. Addressing questions such as “What is Ugly?” and “What is Beautiful?” members learned elements of photography including shape, line, shadow, and others. After 16 meetings, the team documented Waterloo’s historic Walnut Neighborhood where they meet.

Learn more about how your group can participate in The Viewfinder Project, a project that reaches young people nationally and internationally. The Viewfinder Project grants free access to the curriculum when you agree to their licensing terms, and they were fantastic to work with.
