Rising Voices 2021 Art Exhibit
Rising Voices originally launched in March of 2020 for a 90 day exhibit road show but was rescheduled due to the national COVID19 emergency. We had our inaugural show on Friday, March 6, 2020 at Front Street Buildings sponsored by Rusty Harden Studio. We hope you'll join us for the paused and 60 day relaunch in 2021.
