Ceramics High School Residencies
Our Ceramics High School Artist-In-Residence program accepts 3-8 students each year from Grades 9-12 who are strongly interested in ceramics, sculpture, and/or 3D art. Residents will strengthen their skills to enhance personal work for college portfolios and receive mentorship from Flower City artists and instructors. The program runs July through August, and selected residents have full use of our studio.
Studio 678 Middle School Photo Club
Studio 678 is a free after-school photography and writing program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students in the Rochester City School District. Over the course of 30 sessions, students learn to use 35mm film cameras, participate in community-based photo excursions, and create poems and short stories inspired by their images. The program culminates in a collaborative book and exhibitions of student work at venues such as the George Eastman Museum’s Gallery Obscura and City Hall’s Link Gallery.
Studio 912 High School Photo Club
Studio 912 serves high school students in the Rochester City School District and focuses on digital photography, storytelling, and portfolio development. Students generate and pitch ideas, script personal narratives, and explore how to tell stories both through and about their images. They create multimedia pieces using photographs, voiceovers, and text, and develop their writing through artist statements and narrative work.
