The Weston Photography Education Association is a non-profit 501(C) 3
organization established in 2004. Its mission is to educate and
enlighten the community about the richness of photography on the West
Coast.
The Photography Fund
The Gina & Kim Weston Photography Scholarship Fund is created to support
high school and university/college students studying art photography in
Monterey County. It specifically is targeted to those students
practicing conventional analogue processes as well as traditional
alternative process such as platinum printing. Both Gina and Kim wish to
foster photographic education as a way of nurturing a medium that they
love.
Each year an Art Auction
occurs to raise money for the Weston Photography Scholarship Fund.
Mission Statement:
Educate and enlighten the community about the richness of photography on
the West Coast.
The Goals of the Weston Photography Education Association are to:
Keep the traditional process of the black and white photographic medium
alive in the tradition of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams.
Support this philosophy in our local institutions of learning –
celebrating the roots of our photographic history.
Offer artists, educators, students and the community the opportunity to
experience the richness of photography through exhibitions, workshops,
publications, lectures, videos, artists – in – residence and
scholarships.
