Art Scene

WHAT:
Teen Photography Display
WHERE:Hamilton-Wenham Public Library
WHEN:
March 17 to April 30, 2012


Come see the photography display by Hayden Crocker, age 15, in the Young Adult area of the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library.  Hayden Crocker is an avid still photographer.  He has been carrying a camera at his side for most of his life. (Even as a toddler he had toy cameras.)  Hayden is drawn to capturing moments from every day life. Most often his photographs are of friends, animals and landscapes or items found in nature. He also has taken photographs for commercial purposes, whether for a direct marketing campaign or to promote an artist.  In addition to still photography, Hayden has also created hundreds of short films and instructional videos.

All teen artists are welcome and encouraged to submit their artwork for display in the Young Adult area of the Library.  Work submitted must be ready to hang on the wall, and the Library reserves the right to accept or reject any work as it deems appropriate. For more information, please stop by the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library, or contact Kim Claire, Young Adult Librarian at 978.468.5577, ext. 14 or kclaire@mvlc.org.

As part of the 2012 teen summer programming I will be scheduling a night photography workshop (in keeping with the "Own the Night" summer reading teen slogan) in late June.  Participants will be asked to display the result of their work from the workshop, in the teen area of the Library.  Look for the schedule of teen summer programming on this blog or keep an eye on the Library's online Calendar of Events.
