The Evergreen Youth Arts Festival was amazing. A truely fun day filled with art, live acts of artistic expression, horseback riding and visual art expression. My heart was truly filled because the work that went into planning and fundraising was a mighty act. To show up after all the hard work and see the smiles on the children, parents and community is what it is all for. For the love of art! So much great energy was produced and shared.
Evergreen stands for forever green like the pine tree, being connected and thriving 365 days of the year.

1st Annual Evergreen Youth Arts Fest
The 1st Annual Evergreen Youth Arts Festival came together perfectly. My heart is truly full. The vision came to fruition sincerely. Art has the power to heal, transform community and preserve the past and present. Another purpose was to bring awareness to Lacy Park, which is an amazing facility, black owned businesses in the area, which came through with tons of giveaways.
