LAMB CENTER FOR ARTS AND HEALING

Thanks to Richmond magazine and Harry Kollatz for sharing our story! And shout out to our Hopewell neighbor EJ's Bistro Manila for being named a top new restaurant! So much to make you #HopewellProud in this issue!

The Ribbon Cutting at 230 E Broadway was a magical event many years in the making. We truly cannot extend enough thanks to those who made this milestone a reality. From our students who have been dreaming along side us all these years, to our board and staff who show up for our community every day, to the elected officials who tirelessly advocate for our work and for a creative home in Hopewell, to the funders whose dollars continue to turn those dreams into a reality - we made it! It takes a village to build a space like this - and we are grateful for ours. A special thank you to the Virginia Brownsfields Fund, the Cameron Foundation, and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development for their support of this project.

Want to be among the FIRST to see our new home at 230 East Broadway? ?? Join us on FRIDAY, Nov 1 from 4-7pm for a SNEAK PEEK fundraiser to kick off our weekend of ribbon cutting and Arts Fest festivities. Take in the new building smell, enjoy a drink, and share great company as we CELEBRATE this huge milestone for our organization and community.
