Sussex Consortium students host art show
Sussex Consortium students enrolled in an afterschool arts program hosted a reception May 23 at Cape High to celebrate their work.
The exhibition was a culmination of the Art Works for All program held in cooperation with the consortium and funded by the Carl M. Freeman Foundation FACES program.
Art Works for All, formerly known as VSA Delaware, is a nonprofit arts education organization dedicated to providing artistic opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
AWA began working with Sussex Consortium’s transitional education via an afterschool artist residency in 2013. During the program, an AWA teaching artist works with participants to develop skills and build creative confidence. Weekly sessions include exposure to various mediums, including painting, printmaking and collage.
