In the Spring of 2017 Serra
High Students from Michael Pedersen’s photography class entered a photo contest
for the Museum of Photographic Arts. The contest was open to K-12 students in
Tijuana and San Diego county. Four students were selected by a panel of
photographers and the curator of the museum to exhibit their photographic art
in the Museum from November to February. Not only did they select our students
to exhibit but one of student’s work is used as the main image for the entire
exhibition on the MOPA website and on the large signs around Balboa park
promoting the exhibit. The students loved
attending the exclusive opening night with their families.
