GROW NOW & DREAM WITH US

The only true way for us to grow is to “emerge” as nature does – well-paced, communal, and organic. This requires acceptance of our beautiful and colorful differences as uniquely creative beings.

Your gifts allow tuition assistance for a student experiencing financial strain; studio space; the purchase of clay, ink, and darkroom supplies; an artist-in-residence spot; or publishing a book of black & white photography with poetry for our middle school students.
