GlassRoots | Peters Valley Fellows Exhibition 2024

The GlassRoots Peters Valley Fellowship is a fully-funded, 12-week immersive program designed for artists aged 18-26. This unique opportunity allows participants to explore a diverse range of art-making techniques, including glassblowing, stained glass, blacksmithing, ceramics, printmaking, jewelry design and more. Working between GlassRoots in Newark, NJ and Peters Valley School of Craft in Layton, NJ, participants will work closely with professional artists and receive career development support including portfolio building, resume writing and public speaking. Fellows will thrive in a collaborative, creative and supportive environment, benefiting from free tuition, communal housing, meals, and transportation. Additionally, a weekly stipend is provided to ensure Fellows can fully dedicate themselves to their artistic growth.

Thank you to everyone who visited the GlassRoots | Peters Valley Fellows Exhibition! It was a pleasure reconnecting with old friends and supporters including our partners at Peters Valley School of Craft who came out in full force. We also want to thank our community for partnering with us and introducing GlassRoots and the Fellows to new audiences: Newark Arts Festival, Newark Downtown District and Cool Vines for the tasty spirits.

And, of course, congratulations again to this year’s Peters Valley Fellows Aymen Aliamer, Danna Peña, Nyla Mitchell, Phoenyx, Saniya Fareed-Nobles and Tasir Plant. In the words of our Executive Director, Carol Losos, “We are proud to now be crucial to their stories!” 

GlassRoots is proud to join with the renowned Peters Valley School of Craft to offer this unique program, where students can explore the arts in depth, made possible by the generous support of The Nicholson Foundation.
