These hands-on programs invite participants of all ages to explore new materials, develop creative skills, and engage with contemporary artistic practices.Join artist Amy Ritter for Building Community, Block by Block. Participants will design and decorate their own concrete blocks using watercolor and markers, then work together to plan and build public sculptures and civic structures for a shared cityscape: park benches, bus shelters, garden walls, bridges, monuments, and whatever else the community decides it needs. The city grows on a large paper tablescape that kids can draw on directly, adding roads, trees, neighborhoods, and life to the world they're building together.Public sculpture isn't just for museums or city planners. It belongs to everyone, and it starts with deciding together what a community needs and deserves.No experience needed. Just show up ready to build.Designed for children of all ages, with activities scaled to every level. Younger children will stack and decorate; older kids and teens can plan structures, advocate for their ideas, and help the city take shape.About PES Summer Studio at Ironside NewarkThis summer, Project for Empty Space is transforming its exhibition space at Ironside into a gathering place for free, artist-led workshops.

PES is committed to cultivating discourse around important social issues through the catalytic lens of contemporary art. Our mission is to promote artists whose work is oriented around social impact; and to initiate conversations that engage issues of marginality, intersectionality, and cultural tolerance. Through our work we strive to create exhibitions and programming in our spaces that dispel the notion that art is meant for one type of audience. Our aim is to encourage the idea that everyone should have equal opportunity to access art.Project for Empty Space is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
