Focus on Youth is a juried student photography and film exhibition that brings together the ideas and perspectives of Albuquerque’s next generation into the public eye and gives viewers a window into the minds of today’s young adults. Albuquerque Public Schools Fine Arts classes emphasize self-expression as well as skill-building and creative problem solving. This exhibition gives students a special opportunity to exhibit their work in the professional context of a museum. Focus on Youth is part of a multi-decade partnership between the APS Fine Arts Department and Albuquerque Museum to highlight the creativity of youth photographers and filmmakers.
