Art Attack

The arts are powerful. They have the capacity to bring the community together, tell our stories, boost individual well-being and enhance social connection. As the community emerges bruised and weary from over a year of Covid restrictions, it is time to take the healing power of the arts to the people. It’s time for Art Attack!
