The McDonough Museum has collaborated with the Arts Facet of Links. The goal of The Arts Facet is to produce and support programs to enrich the quality of life of youth and communities through educational and engaging art experiences while transforming communities. The Museum has had several workshops for students from the Youngstown Rayen Early College Middle School and seniors from the Youngstown chapter of The Links. Each spring since 2022 we hold an ekphrastic writing workshop using our gallery exhibitions as inspiration, as well as numerous visual arts making sessions. The McDonough has also displayed their year-long arts projects for the past two summers.
