Creating a Home for the Arts!

Continuing our focus on supporting artists and organizations that lost their teaching, rehearsing, and performing facilities before and during the pandemic, we have partnered with the Multicultural Arts Center to combine our resources and knowledge, and transform the center into a multifaceted arts facility, serving hundreds of artists and students!
