Museum of Photographic Arts 1649 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101 MoPA is proud to present the youth exhibition entitled Writing with Light, on view from September 13 to February 1, 2009. The exhibition will illustrate the connection between photography and literacy. Using the photographic arts as inspiration, students will interpret literary works of fact and fiction. Inspired by the exhibition, A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography, which will be on view concurrently, the exhibition will provide students an opportunity for expression through both a visual and narrative connection by linking the subject of photography with writing. Collected from various schools in San Diego County, a jury of museum staff and field professionals will select the final photographs to be exhibited in September 2008. The exhibition will hang alongside A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall & the Art of Photography and will bring together the significance of viewing photography fundamentally through the written word, while offering a new way of perceiving the medium.

Sept 20, 2008- Jan 25, 2009 San Diego A Literacy of Images: Nancy Newhall and the Art of Photography 10 am - 5 pm closed on Mon $6 adults; $4 students, seniors and military; FREE to members and children under 12. Museum of Photographic Arts 1649 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101 Best known for writing text to accompany the photographs of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, Nancy Newhall was also a widely published writer on photography, conservation, and American culture. During her marriage to Beaumont Newhall, former director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, NY, she substituted for him during his World War II military service. Newhall initiated a kind of literacy of images, which this exhibition explores through her writing, in relationship to the actual photographs by the artists she championed. This is a long overdue homage to a woman who devoted her life to photography largely through writing. She gave modern language a new way of looking at this dynamic medium.
