Creating a Community Dialogue through Art!

Thank you to all our friends new and old who have joined us on our collaboration with Edgar Miller Legacy to explore neighborhood history and create artwork inspired by the artist Edgar Miller. The "handmade homes" Miller created in Old Town left an indelible mark on the neighborhood -- and have provided a gathering space over the decades for inspiration, activism, creativity, and social justice. This art show is an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on what we've learned together as a community. Join us!
