Newark’s annual theme, studios, and exhibitions. These workshops provide a breakdown of each participating artist’s practice and expose students to detailed art-making processes, techniques, and research. Considering materials, composition, color, scale, and medium, students will first experience how artists use these tools as social strategies that engage historically underrepresented narratives and communities. Students can gain direct access to leading contemporary artists and discover firsthand what inspires and prompts them to respond to today’s most pressing issues creatively.</p> <h3
