Seven Titans recognized for exceptional photography by Scholastic
Seven Trinity artists have been recognized in the annual Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, described as “the nation's longest-running, most prestigious educational initiative supporting student achievement in the visual and literary arts.” 
 
All of this year’s honorees were recognized for their work in the medium of photography. Nearly all of the photographs were produced on Trinity’s on-campus state-of-the-art large-format digital printer.
 
“I am so proud of my student's accomplishments,” said Tom Condon, Trinity photography teacher. “The winning works displayed a diverse range of themes… including lens-based images, experimental projects and cameraless photographic art. I encourage my students to explore various forms of photographic production, hoping they'll discover a mode that is both rewarding and exciting for them. ” 
 
Work that achieved Gold and Silver Key status will be on display at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond through Sunday, February 18.
