Photoville x PhotoWings Educator Exhibition Grant
Building on 7 years of collaboration with educators to develop lesson plans inspired by photography projects, the Photoville x PhotoWings Educator Exhibition Grant is an opportunity for educators in the Photoville community to receive resources and support to implement a photo-based lesson from the Photoville Educator Resource library in their classroom and produce a culminating exhibition of student work.
Six educators will be selected to receive a $500 cash grant and an exhibition of their students work – designed and produced by Photoville – at the Photoville Festival 2024.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
All applicants can expect to hear back from us in early March.
This grant is open to all middle and high school educators who have participated in a Photoville Education program in the past. Please note that New York City based schools will be given priority in the selection process.
The Photoville x Photowings Educator Exhibition Grant is produced with support from PhotoWings.
