Art in Action: Expression of Art Through Pottery & Fall/Winter Workshops

This past Saturday marked a successful start to Expression of Art Through Pottery, a collaboration between the Darren Clark Jr. Memorial Foundation, the YMCA of East Orange, and Express Yourself Studios.

Youth from across New Jersey gathered to explore clay as a tool for creativity, focus, and wellness. Each participant began their very first piece and, over the next six weeks, will complete a total of six unique projects. The program will culminate in a community art show where family and friends can celebrate the participants’ work.
​
Programs like this underscore the power of collaboration in bringing art and wellness opportunities to youth. We’re honored to play a role in making these experiences possible.
