Thank you for your support of the Gala!
We had a fantastic time together at Liberty Lands and appreciate the support of Ortleib’s, Standard Tap and Urban Village with the delicious food and drinks as well as Hochstadter’s who contributed to our raffle! Our performers were amazing -- thanks to them for sharing their talents with our community! And big thanks to Penn Treaty Special Services District for their ongoing generous support.

Art at Home
Poet Lindo’s virtual poetry class is reading, writing and drawing and they will be Curating the Center this month with an upcoming window display. In the meantime, our blog image is a sample of their work, beautiful “black out” poems by Meri H. and Jill. They covered lines from the poem, The Giver by James Baldwin to create a poem of their own. You too can try this with any poem or text --here is a great video tutorial -- all you need is something printed and a pen!
NLArts is so grateful for our community and the opportunity to nurture and celebrate the creativity and care we have here --keep safe and well and warm this season of Thanksgiving!
