“Young Talent” David Smith Participates in 2010 French Cultural Exchange Program

Now in its fourth year, the innovative and educational art project “Jeunes Talents” (“Young Talents”) has selected eight young art and photography students from five major U.S. colleges and universities to document their experience of modern French life. As part of the Jeunes Talents program, Art Center Photography and Imaging student David Smith will be traveling to Arles, Provence from October 9-19, 2009.

To broaden the scope and impact of the project, eminent photography curator Tim Wride will supervise the students and their work. He will also curate three exhibitions of the students’ work, starting with a Los Angeles show that will take place March 31 to April 14, 2010.

Art Center is proud to have participated in the exchange program since its inception. To view the results of previous editions of Jeunes Talents visit franceguide.com/jeunestalents or the Jeunes Talents page on Facebook.
