Empowering Bronx seniors to tell their stories through photography, the BDC Senior Photo League (SPL) is a free, 8-week program offered in the winter and fall for older adults in the Bronx.
Since 2017, the Bronx Documentary Center has provided weekly instruction, assignments, and field trips to participants aged 55+, fostering technical photography skills, artistic growth, and community pride. Through this supportive and creative environment, students have developed their artistic visions, documented their neighborhoods, and connected with fellow participants. SPL alumni have showcased their work in exhibitions, celebrating the vibrant history and culture of the Bronx.
In our program there will be:
• Weekly photography lessons
• Assignments to document personal stories and neighborhoods
• Private exhibition tours at the BDC
• Collaborative activities with fellow participants
• Opportunities to exhibit your work in public exhibitions
No prior photography experience necessary!!
Applicants must be over 55 to apply to this program.
