Armory Art Together
Summer ‘20
Armory Art Together is an art commissioning initiative open to all Youth Corps of any generation. In Summer 2020, Youth Corps received a snail-mail, non-virtual art pack complete with a very special sketchbook created by Armory Artist Corps Hawley Hussey and Teaching Associate Shar Galarza. Youth Corps followed along in the sketchbook each week, and also had the option of creating multidisciplinary artworks in response to video prompts inspired by the sketchbook, created by Armory Artist Corps artists Asma Feyijinmi, Hawley Hussey, Hector Morales, and Peter Musante. In weekly open studios on Zoom, Shar Galarza and the Artist Corps led Youth Corps in a community artmaking experience inspired by the prompts.
The Summer Edition collected 1,134 artworks by 69 Youth Corps members, totaling over 1,980 hours of artmaking. Here, you’ll find all the artwork that Youth Corps gave permission to share, organized by student name.
