Happy Back-to-School Week, Newark!

GlassRoots is proud to announce contemporary artist, Stella Chang, as this year's Teaching-Artist-in-Residence (TAR)! Chang will lead the Youth Entrepreneurial Spirit (Y.E.S.) Program for high school students interested in running a creative business.

Chang's work explores identity, memory and resilience. Born in San Jose, California, Chang was raised between the United States, Taiwan and Canada. She works with painting, digital and mixed-media across several unconventional surfaces including glass and aluminum.

Register for Y.E.S. and work with Stella this fall! https://hubs.la/Q04x2Lb10
