Studio 912

Studio 912 is a free after-school photography and video program for 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th-grade students who attend school within the Rochester City School District. During this 28-session program, students will learn how to use a Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera, go on field trips to take photographs and videos in the community, learn the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, create collaborative movies, and showcase their photographs and movies at local galleries, including Flower City Arts Center’s Community Darkroom Gallery.

The six goals of Photo Club are to:

• Empower youth to express their vision and voice through photography and writing.

• Enable youth to build life skills such as self-confidence, perseverance, and problem-solving.

• Encourage youth to connect with the community via field trips to historical, cultural, college, urban/rural, and other settings.

• Enhance knowledge of core school subjects such as Science, Technology, English, Arts, and Math.

• Energize youth to work together in teams.

• Establish mentoring relationships with youth.

The program runs from September through April.
