Vanishing Point:
Connecting Students across North Carolina through photography and poetry

January 17 – April 28, 2010 in the Middleton McMillan Gallery

The Light Factory took Charlotte students on an artistic journey through North Carolina, east of 1-95 to photograph, write, and interact with partner students in the area. The experience expanded each student’s knowledge and understanding of North Carolina and the people who share this state, and broadened their skills in photography and creative writing.
