FRANK artists and educators Barbara Tyroler, Peter Filene and Nerys Levy, along with FRANK gallery manager Torey Mishoe, welcome student scholars who will discuss their work with a reception to follow.
This program is the culmination of the Elon Academy photography Inquiry Project taught by Tyroler. In this class, students explored identity, family, art and culture. Through exercises using photography, journal writing, role-play, and group discussion, students consider issues of gender, identity, race and ethnicity.
The visit is part of a larger month-long exhibit of scholars’ work that runs April 9 through May 4 titled “Photographic Explorations of Cultural Identity, Family, and Community.”

The mission of the Elon Academy is to inspire academically promising students who are often underrepresented on college campuses to pursue higher education, develop leadership skills and develop an active sense of social responsibility.
FRANK Gallery’s Educational Arts Outreach program is committed to providing opportunities for educational arts programming for a diversity of populations including children and teens, and those with special needs. For 2013, FRANK will be partnering with several programs through its “Focus on Outreach Through Expressive Art Projects” community arts efforts.
The Bruce J. Heim Foundation was established in 1986 to provide financial assistance to causes that will help people, especially young people with potential for excellence in an area of interest. The programs supported should allow participants to achieve their full potential. As a beneficiary of grant funding, the Foundation trusts that recipients will be encouraged at an appropriate time in their lives to emulate the help they received through their own support and involvement with philanthropic causes.
