Friends and Artists,
With January behind us, the world is looking ahead to days of rebuilding and revitalization. This past year has revealed an inner strength that lies within all of us, as individuals and as a community. We have learned to connect and collaborate in innovative new ways, adapting not only to survive, but to thrive once again. Even now, our arts and small business community is springing to life with new programming, services, and engagement opportunities.
It’s been a little over a year since the first Covid case was reported in the U.S., and since then our community has discovered new ways to carry on while accommodating public safety. We may not be out of the woods yet, but the collective sense of inspiration and hope strengthens as the light at the end of the tunnel draws nearer.
Together we can set the stage for a future where the arts are always growing and thriving. This journey is only made possible with support from readers like you! For more information about our mission, visit our website, or contact us at info@centerforartswwa.org. Have a bright week!
Sincerely,
The CFA Team
