Good Sports Youth Photography Program Going Strong!
Mentoring Caetani Centre Artist Brittney Bergen is working with several youths from Teen Junction:
Rory Peters, Avory Mayer-Smith, Casse Simmons, and Calli Vance, for the Caetani Cultural Centre’s Good Sports Youth photography project. Each youth has been given a camera to document sports and cultural activities in the region.
The group has been visiting many sports venues around Greater Vernon from skateboard parks, local parks, the Vernon Boxing Club, and even our local lakes for some underwater photography!
Their photographs are being posted on-line on a regular basis on the Caetani Good Sports Facebook Page found at
https://www.facebook.com/caetani.centre.good.sports
We encourage the public to visit often and to “like” them and pass the page along to their friends.
Brittney will create a sports and culture themed piece for final installation in a public space, along with a collaborative work produced by the participating youths ~ watch our Facebook pages for updated photos which will be posted throughout the project and follow the development of these young artists!
The Caetani Centre gratefully acknowledges the participation of Vernon’s Teen Junction, especially Ryan Robson, for her support and enthusiasm.
This program is made possible through the generous financial assistance of the Greater Vernon BC Winter Games Legacy Fund, community sponsorships and donations.
