The Santa Monica College Photography Gallery is presenting a special benefit exhibit, “Kameras for Kids,” of images taken by children from Sri Lanka and Benin, West Africa.
The exhibit will be at the gallery from Oct. 29 through Nov. 19. An opening reception is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29 at the SMC photography gallery, located on the second floor of Drescher Hall, 1900 Pico Blvd. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The photos in the show are the result of the work of a nonprofit organization called “Serendib,” which is dedicated to educating students in developing countries. The “Kameras for Kids” project provided digital cameras to children, from Kindergarteners to teenagers, in several countries.
The SMC exhibit features digital color images, all 8-by-10. Donations are accepted, and those who give donations of $100 or greater may select a print.
For information, call (310) 434-4289.
