ARTS IN WORK SPACES:
CCAD Photography Students
& Portrait of an American Town

Fletcher Methodist Church was located at SE corner of W. Henderson Rd. & Riverside Dr.

The City of Upper Arlington’s Cultural Arts Division is pleased to announce exhibits of artwork by Columbus College of Art & Design Photography Students and Portrait of an American Town, a series of historic Upper Arlington photos from the Cultural Arts Division’s permanent collection, as part of the Arts in Work Spaces program, running April through June 2010. CCAD student work can be viewed at the Caspian II building, while Portrait of an American Town is on display at National Church Residences, Nurtur the Salon and The Ohio Orthopedic Center.

Works exhibited at Caspian II are from nine students majoring in photography at the Columbus College of Art & Design. Processes utilized range from digital photography to traditional and alternative methods. The diversity of subject matter this student exhibit portrays is vast; traditional portrait and landscapes images juxtaposed with introspective responses to environment and documentary photography.

The UA Archives initiative has been selected as one of only 60 worldwide participants to join The Commons on Flickr. They'll be among some impressive company, as this group includes the Library of Congress, the U.S. National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution, and the New York Public Library -- as well as several overseas national heritage institutions.

What is The Commons? Flickr Commons was launched in 2008 as a partnership between the Library of Congress and Flickr. The two main purposes of the project are to showcase the world's publicly-held historical images and to provide a forum for the general public to participate in the description of those images.

What does this mean to UA? Our community's historical photographs will receive international exposure as examples of Midwestern suburban daily life in the early 1900s. We will also be inviting the public to help describe these images. Members of the Upper Arlington community as well as a broader group of worldwide users will be able to contribute comments or tags if they wish to share information about the photographs. Information obtained from these comments may help to enhance information about people, locations, architectural details, and activities depicted in the images.

Update - It's official!...As of April 9th, Flickr launched the UA Archives collection in The Commons! Flickr has billed our collection as "a fine slice of early 20th Century heartland Americana." Check it out at - http://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions

Now that Flickr has officially launched the UA Archives collection, they are looking to the UA community to make this a dynamic representation of our city's early development. You can do this by contributing lots of great comments and stories to the images on Flickr.
