The contributions from this group comes in many forms, from teaching our students in our local schools and darkrooms, donating money to our fund, to donating prints to our fine art auction fundraisers. WS has given over $83,000 in 243 photography awards to accomplished black and white analog student photographers. The “Weston” has become a verb on the local campuses, with a buzz that circulates and excites the students. Are you entering the “Weston” is heard in the darkrooms and down the hallways.
Spearheaded by Gina Weston, The Weston Scholarship has been a collaboration of many. Without the support of the local photography community, this program would not exist. The quality of craftsmanship, vision and presentation has dramatically improved over the years. We are proud of our program and hope you will enjoy the show that we are bringing to you.
