TRANSCRIPT
Thank you for your continuing support of the Nora SchoolPhotography Festival. Now in our sixteenth year, tonight weare able to show works from more than 300 studentphotographers representing 19 public and independent schools. To see this thriving community of young artists isencouraging in an era when standardized testing isincreasingly pushing the fine and performing arts out of too many schools.
The photographs you see tonight are testimony to the manyways in which we view the world around us... ways whichhave little to do with multiple choice, but have everything todo with communicating a unique and singular vision of theworld.
I hope you enjoy the exhibition and will come back infuture years to appreciate the artistic sensibilities of ourstudents as they continue to grow and flourish in thesesupportive schools.
