Gallery 44 Resistance/Resiliance

Gallery 44 is pleased to offer OUTREACH, our award-winning education program designed specifically for youth who traditionally have not had access to photography, as a medium of creative self-expression.

Through OUTREACH, Gallery 44 works in collaboration with five community organizations to offer black and white photography workshops to over 50 young people in the Metro Toronto area. The workshops have a different thematic focus each year and guide the youth from concept, through to production, and exhibition at Gallery 44.
