A MESSAGE FROM THE CO-DIRECTORS

Dear Friends,

Throughout this difficult year we’ve held to our mission to provide artists with space, time, and education, in a spirit of innovation and good will.

We know many of you are struggling right now and won’t have any space in your lives or the means for a donation to our work.

But if you are able to, your sustaining efforts are most welcome.

Whether your support is financial, or you can bring the gift of your time and attention, we are grateful. Your belief in what we do uplifts us and the artists in our midst. Thank you.

Lyla Brown                         Ruth Pszwaro
Executive Director            Artistic Director
