This week I’m working to put together a gallery show of work by Quinn Community Center students. The QCC serves families living in Maywood, Bellwood, Melrose Park, and the surrounding area. For the past year I’ve been lucky to teach a great group of dedicated young women through photography classes and workshops held at the QCC.
This summer we visited a community garden in Maywood and the Swap O Rama in Melrose Park, we celebrated one of their quinceañeras with friends and family, and we shot inside the community boxing ring of former professional boxer Rocky DiFazio.
Featured above is just a taste of the work made by Sherlyn Gomez, 13 (photos #1-2), Angie Beltran, 13 (photo #3), and Sydney Idunate, 14 (photo #4).
Come support these students and see their exhibit at the Quinn Community Center: 1845 S. 9th Ave., Maywood, IL. 60153.
See you there! :)
