SPONSORS


The Avenue for the Arts is not an independent non-profit organization. It is a community chosen title for a geographic area. However, many of the Avenue for the Arts Activities are facilitated through Dwelling Place and supported by the local community. Here is a list of our Avenue for the Arts sponsors and supporters!

This site has been made possible by a Neighborhood Preservation Initiative Grant.
