On Tuesday night, during public speaking at the city commission meeting, Joyce Brown announced that Clay Glass was just awarded a grant of $51,000 by the Community
Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties. They had been working towards opening their studio at 216 South F Street.
Joyce says, "This will pay for scholarships for
ten senior citizen low-income artists. They will have full studio access,
supplies, tools and firings in kilns. They will also have space in the
Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery. It is hoped that at the end of one year,
they will create and sell enough work to pay their future fees as well as
increase their income."
Joyce also has been working on a large grant for a collaboration
with the high school students in the Art Department at Lake Worth High
School. If they get that grant, they will teach these students skills, that
will allow them to create a living for them and their families through the
arts.
