Hemingway's Son



Images: The Bare Walls Event
On Friday, June 12, 2009 the Art Center is hosting a vital fundraiser to support our outreach programs called Images: The Bare Walls Event. This will not be a formal gala, but a whimsical, creative, and casual celebration! We will also honor Judy and Larry Cohen with the Legacy Award in recognition of their dedication and generous support of the Art Center over the years. Given the difficult economic climate, we plan to keep expenses to a minimum in order to apply as much income as possible to our outreach programs and their participants. Thank you for helping us continue to enrich the lives of our most vulnerable community members.
