Upcoming: April is Fair Housing Month. Celebrate by participating in our Community Art Project!

Fair housing builds a thriving, inclusive, and welcoming community. The Fair Housing Act was enacted to end discrimination in housing. 

We are asking all artists (and that means you!) to create art that considers fair housing in our community. By celebrating and promoting fair housing through creative expression, we hope to create an opportunity for people of all ages, skills, abilities, and backgrounds to connect over what home, community, and inclusivity mean to them.
