(Un)seen
2023 young artist residency

First Exposures Young Artist Residency cultivates the next generation of photographers and artists. Spanning over 7 weeks, this residency offers an invaluable opportunity for 6 - 8 experienced artists, ages 16 - 21 years old, to develop a personal photography-based project. This year, with the guidance of Teaching Artist Ashley A. Ross, the residents explore the (Un)Seen, examining the boundaries of visibility and invisibility in their social, political, and personal lives.
