Endicott College hosted us for our Bloom Pop Up Exhibition Reception at the Manninen Center for the Arts. Local educators attended a workshop to earn PDP’s focusing on expressive therapies and integrating arts in the curriculum for their classrooms and schools. It was a joyful afternoon full of inspiration, art, music, and creativity. A special Thank you to Tim Hansen, Dr. Goodale-O’Brien and Dr. Gilman for hosting our team of artists who provided the Express Yourself experience!
EXYO Youth had a blast jamming with guest artist, Ricky Duran and Co-Director, Stan Strickland, singing along to Land of 1000 Dances. Ricky Duran will be in the studio throughout this year collaborating on performance songs with our youth for the upcoming show, ROAD TRIP in May. Keep following along to see what they come up with this year!
We’re excited to announce the theme of our 33rd Annual Performance: ROAD TRIP! 🚗 🛣️
Developed collaboratively by our EXYO community ROAD TRIP is a creative journey—driving artistic ideas, imagination, and connection toward our final performance.
Along the way, Exyo Youth will build bridges, create community, and take us places we’ve never been before. 🌎✨
So buckle up and come along for the ride… wheel love to see you there!

BLOOM celebrates the creative growth that unfolds when young people are given the space to express themselves freely. Throughout the year, participants explored what it means to nurture ideas, take creative risks, and flourish together through the arts. We can’t wait to share the joy, color, and imagination that continue to BLOOM from their incredible season of work that culminated center stage at the Wang Theater in front of an audience of 1500.
