The #BowieIs exhibition made its final stop at The Brooklyn Museum last summer and we are still electrified. Gabriella’s piece, “Heroes” (2017) serves as a testament that his music and artistry lives on in our Young Artists and all over the world. #NationalSuperheroDay

When we look at “Swiggle Giggle” (2006) by Young Artist, Tanisha from NewYork-Presbyterian NYP/Weill Cornell Medical Center we can’t help but think of the work by Hilma af Klint. We see very similar geometric forms and a parallel in both artists’ approach to composition and color. In one piece however, we do see a generous application of glitter. What do you see? Be sure to check out Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on exhibit until April 23rd.

On Monday, ArtWorks Teaching Artist, Yako started his year-long Graffiti and Beat-Boxing Workshop series at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. Young Artists will explore how to make a variety of sounds and beats using only their mouth, and will learn new techniques in lettering and drawing to create their own personal graffiti style.

It’s as good day as any to create music and art together and find some new friends along the way! Happy #NationalMakeAFriendDay from all of your friends here at ArtWorks. Artwork by Young Artist Ely, age 7 from NYU Langone.

This past Wednesday, we celebrated the opening of the WWRSD Has HeART exhibition at The Westwood Art Gallery. We are inspired and proud of the excellent work on display by the 14-student finalists. Our team is pictured here with Pam Duffus from Westwood High School; Abigail Hill, recipient of the 2019 ArtWorks Award and Mike Fitzimmons from Westwood Art Gallery. If you’re in the North Jersey area this month, stop into the gallery to see the show!

One of our favorite nights of the year has arrived! Since 2015, ArtWorks has been the beneficiary of the WWRSD Has HeART Event at Westwood Gallery. Tonight, we will be attending the opening reception of the exhibition where ArtWorks Young Artist, Za’myah will have her piece featured among 14 bodies of works by Westwood students. Thank you so much Westwood Regional for continuously supporting ArtWorks! We can’t wait to celebrate the arts together! 

Fresh new paints make our days exceptionally brighter! Thank you to Rich Art Color for donating washable paints so that our Young Artists have the tools to continue express themselves! Pictured here: ArtWorks longtime volunteer, Arielle. #LetArtHeal
