Our LGW Signature Program class gets to participate in “Arts Day,” a day dedicated to learning more about the arts community in our area and how advocacy, funding and government support enable the continuation of creative organizations or programs.     Yesterday, our class visited Dance Place, Life Pieces To Masterpieces, Imagination Stage, Inc., and Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, then finished off the day at Joe's Movement Emporium. They toured the facilities to learn more about theater, dance, music, and visual art and the important role they play in DMV arts ecosystem.    There was also an afternoon panel of art sector experts in the DC region that shared their expertise. A major thank you to Theresa Cameron, Maria Manuela Goyanes, Jeffery Tribble Jr., J.D., and Linda Sullivan for sharing their creative insight.     Creative arts bring people together and build strong connections within our communities. I greatly value the arts’ place in our society and am glad we can expose our Signature Program classes to local programs and organizations in our region.     #arts #supportthearts #artseducation

What a spectacular night at the Neon Nights Gala! At the heart of our mission lies a deep commitment to enriching community life by forging connections between the public and contemporary art and artists. We firmly believe that art has the extraordinary power to spark dialogue, ignite creativity, and unify people from all walks of life. By fostering these connections, we aim to make the world of contemporary art more accessible, inclusive, and engaging. Your support at events like this not only helps us achieve this mission but also plays a vital role in building a vibrant, creative, and connected community. Together, we're making art a part of our everyday lives, enriching our community, and igniting the creative spark within each of us. A glowing "thank you" to all the speakers, artists, and attendees who made this evening truly special! Thank you to our sponsors Amazon, Catalytic Agency, AVLD Events, Inc, Peter Blair, Elizabeth Georges, Arlington Magazine, Lyon Hall, Northside Social Coffee & Wine, and National Landing BID! #creativity #contemporaryart #arlingtonva
