Creative Projects
Celebrations, festivals, and rituals are key to a community's health and well-being. We feature a variety of events throughout the year for our community of family, friends, neighbors, and local elders. We hosted a Community Bazaar in the Spring of 2023, for our neighborhood, an intergenerational Open Mic, Celebrations of Life ceremonies, and other meaningful gatherings.
