Outreach = Networking
Outreach Events & Projects
Formerly the Community Arts Network (CAN), the Outreach Committee strives to reach out to individual creatives across the Grand Valley. Are you a creative living in the Grand Valley? Then you are a part of this network! Any and all creatives in the Grand Valley who wish to meet and learn about each other's organizations and work are encouraged to participate!
Watch for quarterly "Art After Hours" events!
See more info below!
We have met several times and have received good feedback about what needs attention in the local arts community. It is out of one of the CAN DO! events that the MakerSpace idea was hatched.

Art After Hours
Art After Hours is a quarterly GVCA Outreach event, where Creatives gather, network, and share their passions!
Each meeting, two creatives share their passions!
We held our first AAH event in February 2020.
We heard from Kelly Anderson about his love of opera, and Sean and Gisela Flanigan told us about their nonprofit MusicSpark, which teaches children leadership skills through music.
Art After Hours went into hibernation during the pandemic.
We are pleased to present Art After Hours again!
