SURA Arts Academy - Summertime Youth Workshops: All Workshops

This event is no longer on sale.

Monday August 2

10:00 AM  –  2:00 PM

The Arab American National Museum (AANM) is pleased to introduce a series of youth-focused workshops, where students will learn and be immersed in the art of photography! AANM's oldest running youth program, SURA Arts Academy helps students learn about the power of photography as a tool to share their story with the world.

Youth can sign up for one, several or all workshops. Most workshops will take place at an outdoor location around the metro Detroit area, from 10am-2pm EST. Due to AANM still being closed, all locations will take place offsite. Parents will be responsible for bringing students to and from the specified location.

These courses are designed for students ages 14-18. Each day will be full of activities, photo scavenger hunts, and snapping breathtaking photos! Students must have their own DSLR camera or a good cell phone camera to use (some exceptions may apply). No experience necessary.

To access your membership code, please log in at the top right of the ticketing page with your email and password. If you experience difficulties registering for the event, please contact Dave Serio at dserio@accesscommunity.org
