On March 7, 2016, the Gala Reception for the All Paterson Student Art and STEAM Art Exhibition was held at the Paterson Museum at 2 Market Street in Paterson, NJ. Students, teachers, families, administrators, and WP PIR's were all in attendance for this fabulous event which was catered by students attending the School of Culinary Arts, Hospitality, and Tourism.
A wide variety of excellent artworks in all media were on display at the Paterson Museum including drawings, collages, paintings, and sculpture. In the center of the exhibition was a STEAM collaborative paper sculpture entitled "Racimo of Reflection," which was created by teachers in many different disciplines at the New Roberto Clemente School under the direction of (STEAM) Art PIR Triada Samaras. This sculpture was done under the auspices of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation STEAM grant. In the image below Art PIR Triada Samaras stands near "Racimo of Reflection."
At the entrance of the exhibition was a video of all the art teachers in Paterson commenting on their roles as art instructors in this lively and imaginative district. In the image below, GOPA Art Instructor Darryl Jones can be seen speaking on the video.
Overall this gala reception proved to be an inspiring and successful event for the
