THE CATRINA AUCTION
During the month of September, the community was welcome to create as a community. The Firehouse Art Center provided paint, paper, brushes, and a space to create, while enjoying the shared experience of creation. The Catrinas will be auctioned off online with proceeds supporting Art Attack, our bilingual art education program offered at Casa de la Esperanza, as well as the Mexican Artesania Residency at Longmont’s Title 1 Schools within the St. Vrain Valley School District. Read more about the program here!
