Here's where students and faculty can post their essays. High school and college students are welcome to submit essays to the Gallery that fit the general themes of the Gallery archives. We use the term "essay" very loosely. We're primarily interested in writing where students have had significant say in determining the motive, form, content, or style of their writing, and not so much in essays that are clearly dsigned by (and for) the teacher (in other words we're not much interested in prescriptive essays that serve the purpose of tests or quizzes and end up all looking more or less alike). Creative, well-researched, engaged, provocative, meditative, experimental, cross-disciplinary: there's room for all of this in the archive. Essays can end up looking like editorials, "formal research papers" (whatever that means), creative nonfiction, even manifestos, and more. We're especially interested in essays that make use of original photographs.
