NARS Foundation: Community Outreach Visiting Artist Workshop

The New York Art Residency & Studios (NARS) Foundation “is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization committed to supporting artists and curators on an international level as well engaging the local community in Brooklyn and the Greater New York area.”

As the visiting teaching artist during the “Color Me Baad” exhibition, I took inspiration from a specific sculpture in the exhibit by the artist Nicholas Touron for the ceramic demonstration and workshop. After families were given an interactive tour of the exhibition, I demonstrated hand-building ceramics techniques and showed how one might create a creature inspired by this artwork. It was such a nice opportunity to work with children and families together, and with such a wonderful organization.
