West of the
​East Coast Tracks

New Smyrna Beach teens give us
​insight into their changing world.

During the 10-week intensive program, the 10 teens learned from Crealdé professionals how to use a 35mm camera and how to tell compelling stories through documentary photography, with the goal of exploring and capturing the heritage of their west-side African-American community in New Smyrna Beach. The Storytellers program is a grant-supported project that is offered at no cost to the participants with all materials and equipment provided.
