The Modern Participates in Second Annual Arts Scramble

Instructor Mark Werle was a judge of the second annual We Care Arts Art Scramble on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at the Town and Country Shopping Center in Kettering, Ohio.

We Care Arts, located in the heart of Kettering, believes in the healing power of creating and producing art that transforms physical, developmental, and mental challenges into a future rich with possibility. For nearly 40 years, they have positively impacted individuals with varying disabilities and physical challenges.

We Care Arts is also one of The Modern’s Employer Partners, providing students with opportunities to gain professional experience through The Modern’s Externship Program.

Seven teams scavenged through donated props and made unique creations in just two hours. After this unique event, the judges selected the First-Place Judge's Pick. Participants will also vie for the Artie S. Cramble Trophy through an online contest.

Judges included:

· WHIO-TV Reporter and Anchor Xavier Hershovitz

· Altafiber Consultant Cory Donald

“It was like magic to see these art creations come together from such a wide and diverse range of ages and experiences,” shared Instructor Mark Werle.
