Young Americanos
Jan. 17–March 14, 2004
In conjunction with the exhibition Americanos: Latino Life in United States, the de Saisset Museum will be presenting an exhibition of winning entries from the Young Americanos youth photography competition sponsored by Farmers Insurance. The remarkable images included in this exhibition spotlight the photographic skills of San Jose youth in grades one through eight. These compelling photographs offer a glimpse of Latino community through the eyes of young people.
The Young Americanos youth photography competition is part of a multi-faceted program that annually awards thousands of dollars in academic scholarships, provides students with unique and engaging classroom activities through a specially-developed curriculum guide, and provides instructors with invaluable training, free of charge, through periodic teacher workshops. All of the Young Americanos programs were developed by Farmers Insurance as a companion to the Smithsonian Institution’s traveling photo exhibition, Americanos: Latino Life in the United States.
