How to Realize Your Project on a Grassroots Level
Thursday, November 30, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
ArtSpace @ SI Arts, 23 Navy Pier Court, Staten Island, NY 10304
Building community through grassroots projects is never easy — but it is worth it. Coming together with others who share your values and pooling resources is a powerful act, pushing back against feelings of isolation and the false sense of competition that too often divides us. This event, facilitated by Monica Valenzuela, will feature success stories and offer a forum to consciously speak up, listen, step forward, step back, and build a realistic conversation around sustaining grassroots projects and yourself in this important work!
