PC Students Partner with Providence Youth for Community Photo Exhibition on Thursday

Providence College Junior Claire Rigaud ’19, a mathematics major, spoke to the culmination exhibit this Thursday of “Community Lens," an interdisciplinary, team-taught course that links PC students and community youths, on GoLocal LIVE. 

Rigaud, who is from Holbrook, NY, spoke to the course designed to create student connections and to offer opportunities for community-based art. 
 
The Community Lens course met weekly on campus and split into two groups for community engagement with approximately 16 Providence elementary and middle-school youths. Half the PC students met with youths at the Mt. Pleasant Library while the second group went to CityArts for Youth.
 
The College-community partnership culminates on November 30 with the photo exhibition “Nature of Community,” to be held at CityArts at 891 Broad Street in Providence. Open to the College community and the public, the exhibition will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will feature photos the youths have taken under the mentorship of the Community Lens students.
