ROSE Charities US and A Milk Gallery Project organizes “Our Voices” a silent photo auction event to support an ongoing annual two-week workshop in photography and new media benefiting teenagers of the Lapwai, Idaho Reservation.

Here, the youth are trained by professional artists to use technology to express and celebrate their Native American Heritage. The exhibition includes recent work by some of the students as well as donated items from influential art and fashion photographers.

We recognize the importance of bringing these art practices to often dis-enfranchised youth and hope you will join us in giving them access to the tools that will enrich them in their creative journey.

And for us to continue to enjoy hearing their voices.

Hope to see you there!

“Our Voices” is an annual two-week workshop that consists of two concurrent classes; photography instruction by Photographer Hunter Barnes and a digital video workshop with Artist and educator Jason Rosenstock. These workshops focus on the fundamentals of using technologies, solving creative problems, as well as the handling and presentation of work to insure that the students’ art is given the respect and care it deserves.
