This Winter, Kid’s View gets front row seats to the local youth boxing scene by participating in a collaborative photography project with Cincinnati Golden Gloves. Cincinnati Golden Gloves is a non-profit organization that builds character and self-esteem through training and boxing programs designed specifically for the benefit of youth. The organization holds local boxing shows and sends boxers to major tournaments in other cities. Kid’s View students will learn basic photography skills at Prairie’s Northside studio and then begin photographing youth boxing training sessions and exhibitions at the Mount Auburn Recreation Center. The project culminates with an exhibit of student work at Prairie’s gallery space in Northside in early April and the publication of a book of photographs and writing about Cincinnati Golden Gloves which will include work from Kid’s View students.
All supplies, equipment and materials are provided. Staff will consist of David Rosenthal, Prairie's Director,and Prairie volunteers.
