On June 20th, from 4-6pm, Sad Mag will be hosting a pinhole photography workshop with youth from Qmunity at the Vancouver Aquarium!
Youth will use pinhole cameras, made by Sad Mag volunteers from 100% recycled materials, to photograph sea creatures in the educational wet lab. Thanks to the generous support from our pals at The Lab, we’ll be able to develop, scan and share the images, which will be posted online in a Sad Mag photo gallery. Some will also appear in the Vanimaux issue (#10).
This is an awesome opportunity for youth to learn about the arts and the environment around them, as well as share their finished work with an audience.
We’re so excited about this collaboration and the event that we want to open it up to as many youth as possible. Sad Mag is a non-profit that is able to host events and create magazines thanks to our subscribers, as well as donations from community sponsors such as The Lab. To support this event, we are donating the proceeds from subscriptions between now and June 20th to sponsor youth to attend our workshop!
The cost of attendance for one participant is just $12, the same as a year-long Sad Mag subscription. Buy one for yourself or as a gift (a magazine subscription keeps on giving all year round!) and feel the glow that comes from not only supporting your local arts scene but also the work of the Vancouver Aquarium and fledgling queer photographers.
