Building on 8 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.
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.
