The Jampel Center invites you to step into the story of photography, and you’re the star! Explore how photography has evolved through an interactive exhibit featuring authentic images from our Jewish community archives. As you move through photo history, you’ll jump in front of the lens. Pop in the photo booth, snap a pic with a polaroid camera, get a professional, vintage-style family portrait, pose for an authentic tintype and more!
And picture this!
Community partners will share historical photographs from their own archival collections and offer interactive activities that bring the stories behind the images to life.
Experience Tintype Photography (Optional)
Step into the 1850s with tintype photography—a historic process that creates a one-of-a-kind portrait on metal, full of texture, depth, and old‑world charm. Detroit Tintype (detroittintype.com) will offer a limited number of tintype sessions for $54 (regularly $125). Just 15 spots available to take part in this rare historic photo experience.
Take a shot and join us for an event that will be fun for all!
$10 single ticket (13 and older)
$5 (12 and under)
$25 for a family (two adults and up to 4 children)
Free for Friends of the Jampel Center. You can join here.
