What is community arts? |
According to Tate.org community art is an artistic activity that is based in a community setting, characterized by interaction or dialogue with the community and often involving a professional artist collaborating with people who may not otherwise engage in the arts.
I think community arts is about bringing the community together and using the arts as the medium. Additionally, I think it creates beautiful things and changes lives along the way. Coming together to make art or surrounding art brings a light in life that I hope only grows to shine brighter. This page displays the community art projects I have led.

Recycled art days with Backyard Basecamp at BLISS MeadowsBackyard Basecamp is a nonprofit located in East Baltimore City. They focus on urban farming and inspiring Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) to find nature where they are and empowering them to explore further.
Volunteers were presented with glass bottles and chopped wood pieces collected from the BLISS Meadows woods area in addition to donated tiles and allowed to use the provided materials freely. The created work will be used to decorate BLISS Meadows. |

Clay Tile Painting at CASA MDCASA Maryland is an immigrant advocacy organization with one of the locations in Baltimore, MD. In conjunction with my residency at Baltimore Clayworks the community was given an opportunity to paint tiles that would help to complete a sculpture that is being created by ceramicist George Rodriguez for CASA.
