Rochester Art Center

Rochester Art Center will implement "Cross Cultures + Multimedia," a program targeting teens from public and private school systems in Rochester, MN, to share and communicate about Rochester's diverse cultures—primarily local African-American, Hispanic, Cambodian, Somali, and Sudanese communities. Participants will use photography, film, video, and oral and written narration in project activities to discover and share experiences unique to their cultures, learn to document and give voice to their involvement with one another and the community through a variety of media, and exhibit their individual and group observations to the community at-large. The project will deepen engagement of families through innovative creative expressions and create a replicable art education project that encourages investment from and ownership by the participating teens.
