About The View from Here 

Yale Schwarzman Center is delighted to present The View from Here: Accessing Art Through Photography in partnership with the Yale Center for British Art and the Lens Media Lab, Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage.

This exhibition brings together the work of the first three cohorts of photographers from Greater New Haven, highlighting their participation in a six-month photography program for high school students and first-year students at community and state colleges. Participants learn the essential principles of taking and composing their own photographs, primarily using smartphones, by working with curators, museum staff, photographers, and Yale faculty. By turns intimate, honest, playful, and powerful, their photographs speak to community, family, and a shared sense of place: New Haven.

Additional support for this exhibition has been provided by the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Yale West Campus, and Yale School of Art.
