FPCG Continues to Host Forum for Community Artists
The monthly artist roundtables host about 50 participants from a wide range of arts-related vocations and organizations who brainstormed a wealth of ideas regarding how working together can improve the quality of life for them and the community.
At January’s meeting, we prioritized the ideas which have been generated, gathering additional ones, and beginning to develop action plans to implement them. It is not too late to get in on the ground floor of this exciting initiative. If you would like to learn more, either contact Rev. Porter (one of the co-moderators of the event), or go to .
You can also read a recap of the previous roundtables on www.newsworks.org by putting “arts roundtable” in their search engine.
