Through the Lens: 20th Anniversary

Opening Reception – Saturday, February 4, Museum Members at 6 PM, General Opening at 7 PM

Through the Lens - Inspiring Creativity through Photography, Thursday, February 23, 7 PM, FREE: The Whyte Museum's Curator of Photography, Craig Richards along with program participants, to discuss the impact of the Through the Lens program.

Through the Lens is a four-month extracurricular photography program for students from Banff Community High School, Canmore Collegiate High School and Morley Community School. For 20 years, the program has immersed students in the creative process of traditional and digital photography, encouraging participants to experiment and learn about themselves, their community and the exciting medium of visual communication.

Each year students are involved in field trips, darkroom demonstrations, critiques, portrait workshops and presentations by exhibiting photographers. At the end of each program, students work is exhibited at the Whyte Museum. The opening receptions for the exhibitions are especially exciting times, not only for the participants but for the community, as we take the opportunity to celebrate the incredible creativity and vision in youth.

Through the Lens is a partnership with the Canadian Rockies Public Schools and the Stoney Education Authority.

The Whyte Museum’s Through the Lens: 20th Anniversary exhibition is sponsored in part by The Camera Store

Our photographic exhibitions are made possible with generous support from the John & Barbara Poole Family Funds at the Edmonton Community Foundation.
