2018 is the second year that The Art Connection and The Fay Slover Fund at The Boston Foundation provided funding for the students of Studio 678 - Wilson Foundation Academy Photo Club, a program of the Flower City Arts Center, to produce a special photography project Of the Community, By the Community, For the Community. The purpose is to increase access to the art in Rochester's neighborhoods. This funding provided the students with an artists' fee for each of their photographs that are now on permanent display at RAIHN.

The following students' photographs are on display:
