** There will be more to Come **


AAPNA is working on an exhibit for 2006. We will be documenting all expects of African American Life in Central Ohio for two year. Our parameters are anything within I-270. Black & White, Color prints, Slides or Digital images are welcome. 

For those who are a little unsure of what to do here are some suggestions:

  • Parks & Recreations

  • Cityscapes

  • City life

  • Night Photography

  • Various Communities

  • City Workers

  • Road Construction

  • Civil Workers

  • Lunch Time Downtown Columbus

  • Small / Big Businesses

  • Church

  • COTA

Just to name a few. Whatever you choose to do we ask that you inform us on what you plan to do so that people documenting the same areas may partner up or if you want us to keep it a secret we will. We just need to know what everyone is doing so we can market the exhibit accordingly. We want this to be our most successful exhibit ever. Moreover, we want you to bring your work in to each meeting to show. This will help motivate members as well as getting positive feedback on your work. Remember, everyone in AAPNA is a Mentor.
