by Clarissa Rice, Events Coordinator
Every year, we have the incredible opportunity to partner with so many accomplished artists in our programs and during our events. This year, we were thrilled when Irene Neuwirth signed on to join us at Express Yourself. Irene is a brilliant jewelry designer, creating one-of-a-kind pieces, and has launched her best-selling line into a full brand. She is also a great advocate for arts education. I caught up with Irene to hear why she believes in the power of arts education.
Create art with no boundaries and rules. Just make what feels good to you! That’s what the world needs.
Why do you support P.S. ARTS?
Because I personally believe that nothing is more important than the opportunity to be creative.
Do you have any specific memories of the arts or an arts teacher that impacted your life?
My mom is a painter and every restaurant or outing I went to as a child I carried my box of colored pencils and paper. I was never without them!
If you could give our P.S. ARTS students one piece of advice, what would it be?
Create art with no boundaries and rules. Just make what feels good to you! That’s what the world needs.
Thank you, Irene!
