The Kathy Darby Community Outreach Fund (The Darby Fund) was established by Glen Echo Pottery in February 2016 as a memorial to long-time instructor, volunteer, and Board member, Kathy Darby. The goal of the Darby Fund is to introduce people of all ages with limited access to the arts, to the world of pottery. This is achieved through programs in which Glen Echo Pottery volunteers visit sites in the community, as well as conducting classes at Glen Echo Park. In addition, funding is provided for teens who show talent and enthusiasm for pottery but may not be able to afford tuition.
