'Photo Finished' 2023 Carson High School Advanced Photography students work displayed at the Brick through March
Seventeen of Carson High School’s accomplished Advanced Photography students have their work in Photo Finished 2023 at the Brick.
"Photo Finished 2023", a Capital City Arts Initiative (CCAI) exhibition, is in the Community Development Building (the Brick), 108 E Proctor Street, Carson City, December 19, 2022 – March 16, 2023.
The Brick is open to the public, M-F, 8am - noon, 1-4pm. The exhibition video tour with artists’ interviews will be online soon.
Participating students include: Angel Vega Alvarez, Joseph Bertrand, Breanna De Luca, Autumn Holst, Malina Hutson, Sidney King, Zachery Laaker, Cristal Leyva Landa, Joe Ledezma, Cristina Martinez, Penelope Moniz-Gonzales, Amber Perkins, Alex Perry, Adrian Ramirez, Pahola Ramirez, Jose Avina Rodriguez, and Lorrell Service.
Photography teacher, Matt Theilen, explained the students’ assignment: “The Carson High School photography students are asked to create a 15-piece conceptual body of work in which all pieces must relate back to their central topic throughout the first semester. They are given few parameters, other than that work must be acceptable for a high school aged audience, must be cohesive, and must be printed to 11×14 format. Students are asked to choose three to four of their 15 total pieces to enter the "Photo Finished 2023" art show. The works are a collection from Advanced Photo II and Photo III students.”
Sharon Rosse, CCAI Executive Director, said “CCAI looks forward to this annual collaboration with Carson High and is delighted to again present work by these talented students. Their professional work presents creative and diverse photographic achievements.”
This show is another in CCAI’s ongoing series of student exhibitions in the Brick.
