As part of National Runaway and Homeless Youth Prevention Month this November, New Beginnings and LA Arts will co-host an exhibition in their downtown Lewiston gallery (221 Lisbon St in Lewiston), bringing the photography of artist Ned Castle and the High-Low project to Maine.
The High-Low project originated as a collaboration between the artist and youth served by the Vermont Coalition of Runaway Homeless Youth programs (VCRHYP). Castle worked directly with the youth to create paired large-format photographs of re-enactments of high and low moments in each youth’s life. Audio of the youth telling their stories accompany the photographs and explain each situation’s significance.
On the night of October 26th, the High-Low exhibit will open in the
L-A Arts gallery from 5 to 8 pm as part of the storytelling-themed final 2018 L-A Artwalk. The show will run through the month of November and viewable during gallery hours (12 noon to 4 pm Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and 11-3 on Saturdays).
