Children's Photography Workshop

Kids can be a part of our exhibit A Bridge to Bayside, A Corridor through Community by engaging in this photography workshop. Meet at the Castle to learn about composition, light, and more. Then walk down with us to the Throgs Neck Bridge to be inspired and creative. The photos taken that day will be put on display for the duration of our exhibit. Bring your own camera or we'll supply a digital disposable camera. Admission: $10; BHS Members $5
