Your Support Means A Lot
Supporting Take Flight enables an entire community of artists to have professional opportunities like the 29th Annual Culture Crawl and the Eastside Arts Festival, as well as provide in-studio art workshops for 220 inner city youth and develop an Eastside Arts District. By participating in this benefit, the public galvanizes EAS’s work in making the Eastside Arts District the vibrant neighbourhood we know and love – and will ensure we can continue to bring our community together through art for decades to come. ART HAPPENS HERE!
Special thanks to all of the exceptional artists who generously donate their work to support this fundraising initiative.
