In 2022- 2023 Roanoke launched the “Year of the Artist”, an initiative aimed at brainstorming new ways to support creatives of all types, meeting community challenges, and further integrating arts into the city’s fabric. During that fiscal year, the City of Roanoke invested a quarter of a million dollars in community-driven and artist-led projects advancing the community in a variety of key areas.
I received a YOTA Art Matters Grant to create and facilitate workshops that supported the personal and professional development of Roanoke's creative community.
