Helping to Make Things Happen
Running a successful community art center that serves the varying needs of diverse people, is possible only with the help of people living in the communities served.
It takes dedication and commitment, year after year, by people with a range of talents. We're proud to say that people living in the communites we serve are not only art lovers, they support the arts by getting involved.
