Virtual Classes with Art Kits and Cameras!!!
We have been delivering brand new art kits (including cameras!!!) with our virtual classes since June, and so far our students are loving them!
There are small and large kits that come with three or five online classes with one of our educators.
Kids get:
A hard copy of our lesson and project guides, Exploring Photography as well as digital downloads each week
Photo example worksheets that visually explain more challenging settings and tools
Fun review videos of each concept to reinforce learnings
Beautiful illustrated visual aides with each lesson
A box full of colorful art and photo tools to use in the projects we will work on class

PREPPING FOR SUMMER WHILE WAITING FOR A BABY
We are still waiting for baby intern M to arrive, so we’ve been refreshing the website with some new awesome imagery from our pals at Me & My Girl and getting ready to send out cameras and camp supplies to our summer kids! Summer looks a lot different than expected, but we are making the best of it!
BLACK LIVES MATTER

Black Lives Matter.
There is so much more we can do as an organization to become better actively anti-racist change-makers. We aim to ensure our Black students see themselves in the artists we study, the projects we create, and the discussions we encourage. But, that's not enough.
While revamping our staff training, brand guides, and our curriculum, we are ready to grow and educate ourselves and our team to infuse anti-bias and anti-racism work into every part of our business.
Committed to adding more BIPOC voices to our team, we are hiring additional Program Coordinators, Photographers, and Educators for Fall to equitably continue our mission to grow creative confidence with engaging art-filled photography education to kids.
It’s not an option to stop learning and fighting for Black lives. We'll continue to PAY, support, and amplify Black voices and artists with the knowledge that we can all do something to help dismantle systemic racism.
