Weekend Art Workshops

Dear Mayor,

Thank you for inviting me into the Ralston community, I am super excited to contribute. What the Ralston citizens need is socialization with other members of the community and the perfect way to install this idea would be weekly weekend art sessions. These sessions would be taught outside in a public space by other local artists including myself. The event would be for all ages and donations for the local artists would be optional. The artists teaching that day would also have the opportunity to display their pieces while the session is in place. This would be a great opportunity for the artists to gain more exposure and the events would greatly help small businesses that are located near the event.

The main obstacles are funding and supplies. Unless local places in the area wanted to donate supplies like foldable tables and chairs, there needs to be funding for the art supplies, furniture, and paying the artists for their time. Artists within the community are targeted most with this proposal as well as families with children.
