6-9pm
POWERHOUSE @ the Archway
28 Adams Street
Brooklyn
The powerHouse Arena will be hosting an exhibition by photographers associated with the NYC Department of Probation’s Neighborhood Opportunity Network, in partnership with the nonprofit Seeing for Ourselves.
The exhibit features documentary photographs by young adults on probation and other community residents who participated in a 12-week photography workshop at NeON locations in Bed-Stuy, Brownsville, and East New York.
The photographers received professional photography training in workshops designed by the nonprofit to introduce participants to the history of photography, technical skills, and the art of visual storytelling. Sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, the classes are the part of a citywide series that will continue at NeON locations in Harlem, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island later this year.
New York City’s Department of Probation is the second-largest in the country, enjoying the reputation of an industry leader thanks to NeON and other innovations.
The NeON photography exhibition will include an opening reception with refreshments on Wednesday, October 3, from 6-9PM. Select photos will be available for purchase, with the photographer receiving 100% of the proceeds from such sales.
Exhibition runs from Wednesday, October 3rd – Sunday, October 7th
