Sussex Consortium showcases students’ artwork

A group of 25 Sussex Consortium students recently participated in an after-school art program led by Kizzie Cobb, an artist known for her dynamic, inclusive approach to providing youth art education. 

The seven-session residency was made possible through the generous support of Art Works for All. Each session offered students the chance to explore a variety of techniques and mediums. The program was designed to inspire self-expression, develop artistic skills and encourage a deeper appreciation for the visual arts.

The students’ creative accomplishments were recently spotlighted during an art show held for families, community members and Consortium staff.

A Cape Henlopen Educational Foundation grant funded the art show and refreshments, ensuring a festive and welcoming event for all in attendance.

“This art show highlights the students’ creativity and the impact of community support on young adults,” said David Miles, job coach and art program co-advisor.

“We are very proud of our students and thankful to Kizzie Cobb for leading them through this artistic journey, and to Art Works for All and CHEF for making it all possible through their generous support,” said Pamela Graves, vocational coordinator and art program co-advisor.
