THANK YOU VALLEY WOMEN'S CLUB!

Volunteers from the Art Center helped with this year's Redwood Mountain Faire, and a percentage of the proceeds were presented to the Art Center at the beginning of August by Bobbi Faulk, representing the Redwood Mountain Faire committee.  This Award of over $1300, will help match funds supporting our Youth Art Programs - free afterschool art classes at SLV High, SLV Elementary, Boulder Creek Elementary, and Bonny Doon Elementary schools!  PDF Press Release.

 

THANK YOU  NEW LEAF MARKET FELTON!

New Leaf Market in Felton, sponsored the Art Center during a Community Day Event at the market.  We received a check for $1191 to support our youth scholarship program, enabling us to continue to offer art classes to youth in need. Thanks to the Locatellis for their donation and to all of you who came out to support us with your purchases!   PDF Press Release
 

Advocate for the Arts in California!  "This is an opportunity for the Arts sector in California to again build a sense of community and to revitalize its collective capacity to act together for mutual common good by reinventing its advocacy efforts -- and hopefully to have an impact on the thinking of the candidates for Governor and thus public support for the arts over the next decade." - Barry Hessenius.
