2013 Art and Change Grant – $2,500
- Neighborhood: Landenberg
- Change Partner: Lisa G. MacMain, YoungMoms Community
- Discipline: Visual Arts
- Social Change / Intent: Cultural Preservation
Nanci’s project consists of a series of collaborative sculpture workshops with YoungMoms Community, a diverse group of teen mothers in Kennett Square. Together participants will learn about notable women throughout history who have overcome personal challenges to make a positive impact on the lives of others, as well as their own. Working in small groups, these young women will partner with mentors currently involved with the group to build armatures from wire and develop these forms, using papier-mâché and collage materials, into a unique portrait of their subject.
