Youth Making Change!
In celebration of Express Yourself performing, and partnering with the Boch Center – Wang Theatre and Department of Mental Health for our “quarter” century performance on May 23, 2019, ExYo Youth designed their very own 25¢ pieces this past week. Inspired by the collaboration between Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, our youth explored pop art, symbolism and screen printing to create unique and playful designs.
Speaking of positive change, one of our youth mentors says:
“At Express Yourself I find myself being someone completely different. I get to be myself and meet other people being themselves. I think this is what makes art so important for me. No matter what problems, or diagnosis, you come here or anywhere with, you are not alone at Express Yourself.”
Want to see this change in action? Join us for our 25th Anniversary performance at the Boch Center-Wang Theatre on May 23rd, 2019. Mark your calendars! Don’t miss it!
