Photoville Education: Student and Educator Programs

 

Photoville Festival Education Field Trips take place every year!

#PhotovilleFestival’s 2024 Education Programming will happen for free this June!

Our 2023 Photoville Education Day included field trips to our festival stomping grounds in Brooklyn Bridge Park, engaging conversations with professional artists, and a series of lively youth artist panel talks known as the Youth Artist Exchange, all tailored to middle and high school students.

 

Educators and parents have several session offerings (morning and afternoon) to choose from.

In 2023, there were two sessions on June 6th and one on June 14th. Sessions include a picnic in the park with pizza and water provided.

A Picnic in the Park was held after each session.
Pizza and water was provided.

 

Educator Happy Hour

Each year at the festival, the Photoville Educator Happy Hour is an informal way to connect with educators and art practitioners in the Photoville Education network at Brooklyn Bridge Park!

Spend the Day roaming through the park exploring exhibitions, maybe partake in one of our many free workshops and tours and then come meet up for Happy Hour where you may want to stay for some live music and visual storytelling on the Brooklyn Waterfront.

An RSVP link for the #Photoville2024 Educator Happy Hour will be available prior to the festival. The first drink is on us!
