Odyssey House artists shine at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) “Made Together” exhibition.
Our talented artists recently participated in MoMA’s “Made Together: Art from Our Community” project, showcasing their creativity alongside works from other NYC community organizations. This collaborative initiative celebrates the artistic potential of New Yorkers with disabilities, providing a platform for self-expression and fostering an inclusive museum experience. Speaking at the show’s opening reception on February 23, Odyssey House President Dr. Peter Provet congratulated the artists and thanked the MoMA event organizers Theresa Rodewarld and Lara Schweller, Associate Educators Access Program and Initiatives, “for the workshops and art instruction you all provided that led up to this beautiful show.”
Exploring printmaking with MoMA educators
Our collaboration with MoMA continued to bring creative expression to clients in treatment. Earlier this summer, Jamie Mirabella led an inspiring workshop series, introducing our artists to printmaking techniques like relief printing, collagraph, and cyanotype. The sessions emphasized experimentation and creative play, producing a vibrant collection of prints, drawings, and collages. Look out for these works in our upcoming annual art exhibition this fall!
Sculpting memories with clay
Visiting artist Riley Strom recently conducted an eight-session clay workshop at the George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery. Participants learned hand-building techniques, starting with pinch pots and progressing to personalized sculptures reflecting their New York experiences. Riley praised the participants’ creativity and dedication, noting the high quality of their finished projects. These engaging art initiatives continue to empower our community, fostering self-expression and artistic growth among Odyssey House residents.
