We strengthen families and communities by strengthening women and girls. We fill a critical gap in the landscape of institutions and service providers by offering culturally-relevant, whole-family, female-focused supports that directly intervene in the systems that most frequently fail communities: education, workforce, and criminal justice.”_ The Art Garage will visit 6+ schools to bring accessible art to many students once a week! We are thrilled to have these new programs that allow us to partner with an outstanding organization and fulfill our mission to make the visual arts accessible to our communities! ### \*\*\*\*Upcoming Events in our Area\*\*\*\* \*\*Park Hill Open Studio Tour: October 23rd & 24th\, 10:00AM\-5:00PM\*\* The Art Garage and over 20 artists in Park Hill open their studios to the public on October 23rd and 24th!
