Our First Outdoor Screening at the Everson: March 8, 2024
Our First Outdoor Screening at the Everson: March 8, 2024
It was in late fall of 2023, during one of Urban Video Project's community screenings in downtown Syracuse at the Everson Museum Plaza, that I asked the director of UVP, Anneka Herre, if she would be open to an idea to have a program created by local teens as part of UVP programming. She said yes, and was very supportive throughout.
In early March 2024, a dozen teen moviemakers, along with their families, friends, and members of a broader arts and culture community of Syracuse got together at the Everson Plaza.
After gathering together and waiting for sunset, a projector beamed moving images created by Syracuse teens with their smartphones onto the monumental façade of Everson Museum of Art - WOW!

VISIONS OF COMMUNITY on the Everson: October 5, 2024
VISIONS OF COMMUNITY on the Everson: October 5, 2024
As the culminating event of our Summer 2024 season of Teens with a Movie Camera on the theme of "Community," we gathered outdoors once again on the Everson Plaza to debut a new 30-minute TeenReel.
An audience of teens, friends, families, neighbors, community members, and curious passersby gathered to watch as images teens created that summer on their smartphones were projected large in downtown Syracuse.
This TeenReel was also exhibited in Watson Hall at our 2025 Syracuse Symposium Event: Community Cinema in Watson Hall on SU Campus.
