Every autumn Western Kentucky University’s (WKU) Mountain Workshops draw a team of dedicated teachers and determined learners to a small Kentucky town to explore the richness of community, the beauty of landscape, and the possibilities and challenges of visual storytelling.

This year’s workshops will take place October 15 – 20, 2013.

Application Guidelines

Applications will be accepted online started July 1, 2013. Registration will remain open until all three classes reach capacity.

Workshop Details

Participants can select from one of three workshops:

• The Photojournalism Workshop focuses on still photography, as coaches and participants explore individual character, the give and take of relationships, the deeply-felt sense of belonging to a place and the pride of participating in a shared heritage.
• The Picture Editing Workshop draws on the design sensibilities and electronic publishing expertise of its coaches to help participants learn to weave photographs and text together into memorable narratives.
• The Multimedia Workshop challenges participants to gather still images, record sound and shoot video, and then use cutting-edge digital and online tools to spin all these threads into stories that captivate.

Price

The cost of the workshop ranges from $625 to $825, depending on entry date and workshop category.
