About this listen
In this episode, we dive into the impact of Studio 678, an after-school program where middle school students explore analog photography and poetry. Our guests are Markus Essien, Photography Program Coordinator at Flower City Arts Center, and Emma Rathe, Manager of Programs and Exhibition Production at the George Eastman Museum. Together, they reflect on what it means to help young people find their voices through art. We talk about how Studio 678 builds confidence, connection, and creative skills—and how powerful it is for students to see their work displayed in a professional setting. This conversation also highlights the importance of mentorship, intentionality, and creating spaces where young artists feel seen and supported.
