Community Outreach |
Kathy Darby Community Outreach Fund (The Darby Fund) The Darby Fund was established by Glen Echo Pottery in February 2016 as a living memorial to long-time instructor, volunteer, and Board member, Kathy Darby. The Darby Fund pursues two of Kathy's great passions - her love of pottery and her desire to introduce people of all ages with limited access to the arts, to the world of pottery. There is a special emphasis on providing opportunities for youth. 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, scholarships are provided for teens who show talent and enthusiasm for pottery but may not be able to afford tuition. Our current community partners include:
