The World On Pause

January 13 - February 27, 2022

Over the last several months, Port Angeles Fine Arts Center Staff and Photographer Amy McIntyre have partnered with Port Angeles High School teachers to engage more than 500 students in a conversation about their perspectives on the pandemic. Students were asked to share how their lives have shifted and changed under the pandemic and were led through a series of online workshops to help them develop their photo documentary skills as a means for communicating their experience to the larger community. 

Support for the project was made possible through grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Washington State Arts Commission. Port Angeles Fine Arts Center was one of 50 organizations throughout the state of Washington to be awarded a Partnership in Education Grant to help launch this project with teachers from the Port Angeles High School history, art, and English departments. Together PAFAC staff and teachers were able to connect the pandemic and social emotional resilience with their current curriculum. 
 
“It has been such an honor working on this project, from the grant application process through classroom instruction last fall and now getting to see the exhibition come together in person. I love that everything from the show title to the individual photographs came directly from the students, and I hope that viewers will come away with a deeper understanding and appreciation of how teens have experienced the past couple years,” states Jane.
