Collaboration with local artists has been pivotal to the success of the Arts Center’s mission, growth and impact. Whether it be curating, teaching, outreach programming, engaging with our community, jurying, creating public artworks, and/or volunteering their time and talents over the years, these artists have been crucial to shaping and supporting Kennedy Heights Arts Center.
