Free Juice University is thrilled to announce its 2024 Graduation Exhibition, an inspiring showcase of digital artwork and photography that delves into the rich tapestry of culture, expression, and identity. This year’s event is presented in an exciting curatorial collaboration with Marginalized in Mind, under the creative leadership of Chaya Howell.
This exhibition highlights the transformative impact of mentorship on emerging BIPOC photographers through our virtual 8-week program, where mentees enhance their business acumen, networking, and creative skills under the guidance of accomplished mentors.
Together, the cohort explores the intersection of individuality and collective experience, weaving a narrative that transcends boundaries and fosters meaningful dialogue.
