supports collaborations between artists with and without developmental disabilities. Since 1998 the studio has created one-of-a-kind art pieces and translated artwork into items such as jewelry, ornaments, flowers, and greeting cards.

Production of these pieces create employment for people with and without developmental disabilities and generate a renewable funding stream to continue arts programming.

The Passion Works Studio Featured Artist for the month of July is Jeremy Allman. Jeremy creates colorful, abstract backgrounds by drawing and painting intricate lines of interweaving colors. These backgrounds are often layered with imagery from other artists in our collaborative studio to create outstanding one-of-a-kind pieces such as Flowers in the Piano. His artwork has also been incorporated into the inside sleeve of the CD “My Little Pancake Button” and in Path to the Garden, a useful and attractive cutting board.

Passion Works recently celebrated the release of their second CD “My Little Pancake Button.” The CD is a collaborative effort between Passion Works Artists, Hocking College students who have been writing poetry together since 2000 and local musicians who transformed the words into songs. A HUGE thank you goes out to Deni Naffziger of Hocking College for introducing her students to Passion Works and to Bruce Dalzell who spent countless hours organizing, producing and recording the CD as well as serving as the Master of Ceremonies at the release party. Another big thank you to all the musicians and Factory Street Dancers for their amazing performances and to Emily Prince of ARTS/West for the use of their performance space!
