Why is this campaign important to you?
I loved teaching at the Crafts Center. I met the greatest people there, many of whom I am still friends with. I didn't make much money but I kept teaching there because it was so much fun.
Very sad, I always thought it would be part of my retirement plans. I hope the petition works & it is reopened. Thank you for posting this. Xo
Art is important to everyone.
"True vision depends on if one is looking, and not merely watching."
My friend was working there.
The [extremely short] version: I was just getting to know and love their darkroom. It was the only one of its kind in town. Having that taken away hurts -- and the memories being derided from my time as an undergrad -- just sad.
This is my weekly therapy and my family; a place to forget about all my stress and worries. It is my creative outlet, my inspiration, the highlight of my week. I am heartbroken to hear the Crafts Center has closed. This cannot be possible. We must save the Crafts Center!
