COMMUNITY PROJECTS

"..The arts connects us with our neighbors, and give us an opportunity to celebrate our differences."
 -Jane Chu

Gaylord Area Council for the Arts has partnered with Rise, to offer a 12-week contemporary street art workshop series that will provide young people with an opportunity to take a leadership role in the Gaylord Area Council for the Arts Art in the Alley Project. Students will develop their art and design skills while also engaging in a collaborative leadership project.
This project is unique to the community because its focus is on connection: Geographic, economic and social.  It transforms a 3-block downtown blighted alleyway into a gathering space that will connect the Iron Bell trailhead (west end) to the Claude Shannon Park (east end).  It will also encourage individuals visiting the downtown social district to take advantage of the restaurants and businesses located in this area.
