The arts in our neighborhood are made up of many artists and their programs, studios, and galleries. These venues rely on the support of the community. For example, it costs $4800 per month for 11 months of the year just to present the highly acclaimed and enjoyed First Friday Art Walk! Grassroots patronage can provide a more powerful impact than ever! Giving the gift of art to people who would otherwise never have access, and providing needed resources to artists in an equitable manner helps all to maximize the joy art brings to all us!!
