Portraits of Old North

Twelve teens from Old North will work as paid apprentices along with two professional artists who will teach them photography, creative writing and oral history interviewing. Each teen will be paired with an older resident of the community to interview and photograph. They will interview their partner about his/her life in the neighborhood and use that as a basis for a creative writing piece and create a photographic portrait of their older resident. Each teen will also create a self portrait using photography and creative writing and a book of these written and photographic portraits will be printed and sold with the proceeds supporting ArtWorks and the Urban Cafe'.
