Clay's Color
Crew to receive funds to support of South
Dallas autistic community
DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dallas painter and sculptor Ken Womack has partnered with the local
nonprofit Clay's Color Crew and
will be donating 25% of his art sales over the next few months.
Clay's Color Crew™ is a
Dallas-based, 501(c)3 nonprofit
started in 2024 by Colin Simmons, an edge rusher from Duncanville
and highly touted five-star football recruit now playing for the
Texas Longhorns and The University of Texas. While his skills on
the field make headlines, it's his special off-the-field
relationship with his younger brother Clayton that's the real
story.
Clayton was diagnosed with autism in 2020 at age six, and the
family quickly realized there were limited resources and activities
around them for high-energy kids on the spectrum. Highlighting
Clay's love of colors, Colin and
his mom Monica McCarley founded the
nonprofit with the goal of bringing autism resources and facilities
to underserved and lower-economic areas in South Dallas.
"As a Texas Ex myself, I'm proud to partner with Colin Simmons and Clay's Color Crew," said Ken Womack. "We're calling this initiative 'Art
for Autism' as we brighten the future for the autism community in
South Dallas."
Womack's unique, oversized pop art sculptures can be found and
purchased online at KenWomack.com. Available artwork includes
TEXAS TOAST – a 4-foot lifelike
piece of toast in the shape of Texas – as well as a 5-foot cassette mix tape,
a giant burnt Pop-Tart, and an 8-foot-tall, diamond-encrusted
nunchucks. Additionally, Womack's advertising agency, The Agency
Hack, is donating branding and marketing services to Clay's Color Crew.
"Partnering with Ken Womack is a
win-win," said Colin Simmons,
founder of Clay's Color Crew. "I'm
a big fan of his art, and an even bigger fan of how the proceeds
from his art will benefit those on the spectrum like my little
brother, Clayton."
