InkjetMall's sister company Cone Editions Press has been an ardent supporter of the InSight Photography project for many years. Groups of students from around the USA have been invited to make prints at our studio. We also provide materials and supplies to the Project. The silent auction is a way for you to help and at the same time acquire a photograph for your collection!
The In-Sight Photography Project offers students a creative voice and outlet, an opportunity to experience success, tools for self-awareness and self-worth, and encourages them to become actively engaged in their communities. In-Sight teaches photography to youth ages 11-18 throughout Southern Vermont, regardless of their ability to pay.
The In-Sight Photography Project was founded by Bill Ledger and John Willis when they were distracted by a large number of teenagers hanging around aimlessly in downtown Brattleboro, VT and by the police who were moving them along for loitering. This scene was so distressing that John and Bill decided to teach a free course for these youths. Encouraged by an outpouring of community support, John and Bill built a darkroom and teaching facility.
In-Sight now offers photography courses at the introductory, intermediate and advanced levels for students ages 11 to 18, and has served over 1,500 youth.
InkjetMall staff (including Jon Cone, Cathy Cone, Dana Ceccarelli and Kelly Chaffee) have donated photographs to the auction. But, so have notable photographers such as the Starn Twins, and many others. Please bid on a photograph and help a worthy cause:
Thanks and best regards,
