The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents the exhibition Eye on Third Ward: Jack Yates High School Photography 2009. On view Sunday, February 7 - Sunday, May 23, 2010, in the Audrey Jones Beck Building of the MFAH.

In one of the museum´s most admired and successful education initiatives, photography students from Jack Yates High School document the cultural fabric of Houston´s historic Third Ward community. Remarkable artistic talents emerge as these teenagers walk through the neighborhoods capturing candid images of day-to-day life. MFAH staff members select the best photographs for display in an annual exhibition. Now in its 15th year, Eye on Third Ward continues to inspire museum visitors along with the participants.
