From poetry to painting, Allie’s Art Club turned creativity into connection at their community arts fair!
Allie’s Art Club is a community of creatives who believe in the power of art to generate positive change.
With support from our Make it Happen fund, they recently hosted a nature-inspired community arts fair in partnership with eco-gardeners Mother Roots.
The day featured local artists, a collaborative “Poetree” installation, crafts, DJ sets, free food with over 90 residents.
“There was a wholesome, inclusive community spirit and some amazing artworks displayed. The Poetree collective installation was a great success, with lots of people writing poems on paper leaves and adding to our collective installation.” ~ Lydia, founder of Allie’s Art Club
