Guided by program mentors and volunteers, twenty participants learned to use 35mm film cameras and produce their own black-and-white prints in the darkroom. Through this hands-on journey, students practice photography in the studio and throughout the Rochester community, taking full ownership of their creative process. These young artists also write poems and stories to accompany their images, which are matted and framed by the museum’s exhibition team and published in a collaborative book.
Through the camera and creative writing, Studio 678 Photo Club student artists have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of their community and themselves. All of the projects in the program are designed to enhance knowledge of core school subjects, foster conceptual thinking skills, build confidence, and empower youth to express their vision and voice. Started in 1999 as an eight-week pilot program, Studio 678 is now an annual twenty-five week after school program and in its twenty-eighth consecutive year. The program is offered free of charge to students in grades six through eight in the Rochester City School District and Charter Schools.
