SUMMARY:Atelier II Open House with Mary Beth Meehan (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join us online on August 4 at 6:30 pm ET to meet our new instructor\,
  Mary Beth Meehan\, learn more about the newly redesigned Photography
  Atelier II program\, and ask any questions you may have! 
 
 RSVP below to receive the Zoom link. 
 
 The Griffin Museum and Mary Beth Meehan are pleased to offer this
  advanced project development program for artists seeking to bring an
  existing body of work to the next level. 
 
 This advanced Atelier II is designed for intermediate to advanced
  photographers who already have a project in motion--an idea and
  passion they have begun to photograph--but who seek support in further
  developing and refining the work. This program is intended for artists
  who value growth over validation and are willing to enter the messy
  middle of experimentation\, research\, doubt\, revision\, and
  breakthrough. Participants should be prepared for a rigorous process
  of image-making\, critique\, discussion\, and thoughtful engagement
  with the work of others. 
 
 About the Instructor
 
 MARY BETH MEEHAN is a photographer\, writer\, and educator who has
  spent the past twenty years developing independent photography-based
  projects that have had impact nationwide. Her community collaborations
  and public art installations have challenged dominant narratives
  across racial\, cultural\, and social boundaries\, addressing often
  fraught public dialogue with powerful imagery\, personal backstories
  and tender archival material that lend an essential layer of
  humanity\, insight\, and care. Originally trained as a
  photojournalist\, Meehan has spent decades interrogating her role as a
  storyteller\, reckoning with the limits of photography and using open
  dialogue to broaden the possibilities for what the camera's frame
  might contain. She is also a passionate teacher and mentor\, helping
  photographers at all levels to bring their projects to life. 
 
 Meehan's public installations have been mounted in the city centers of
  Newnan\, Georgia\, Providence\, Rhode Island\, and her hometown of
  Brockton\, Massachusetts\, as well as at The RISD Museum\, Brown
  University\, and IIIT University in Delhi\, India. Her work has been
  exhibited at organizations including The Griffin Museum of
  Photography\, Aperture Gallery\, and Stanford University\, and her
  work has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts\,
  The Massachusetts Cultural Council\, and the Rhode Island State
  Council on the Arts. Meehan's projects have been featured and reviewed
  in publications such as The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The
  Boston Globe\, The Los Angeles Review of Books and Le Monde. She has
  held artist residencies at Stanford\, Brown\, and the University of
  Missouri School of Journalism\, and has lectured at RISD\, the School
  of Visual Arts\, and MassART. 
 
 A native of Brockton\, Massachusetts\, Mary Beth received degrees from
  Amherst College and the University of Missouri\, Columbia. She lives
  in Providence\, Rhode Island. 
 
 Her major projects include: 
 
 Seeing Silicon Valley 
 
 Seeing Newnan 
 
 Seen/Unseen 
 
 City of Champions
