“I’ve been with AfA for years—teaching workshops, helping with marketing, and generally making myself useful. The space is great, but the people are better—a wild mix of artists, crafters, and community builders who somehow make glue guns, glitter markers and existentialism work in the same room.
Community art centers like AfA are the heart of a small town. Where else can you paint a mural, make a Valentine, or dive into an immersive drawing experiment—all for less than the price of an appetizer?”

“I showed up as this place was closing. The woman running it took pity and let me look around while she shut down - extremely kind of her. She has worked on bringing this home and the story of this family into the light. It is a wonderful telling of a black family who lived here. She has worked extremely hard to know more about the families and the people who lived here. I could tell her effort in this project as she told me stories about a black woman suing and another who trained to be a teacher. I'm grateful she let me look around.”
“A very nice place, where they make a very delicious Maple Syrup and where they have cultivation techniques to protect it with very new, curious and interesting techniques.”
