“The Gwinnett Creativity Fund grant has enabled Spectrum to offer a free and enriching arts and crafts program for women on the autism spectrum, giving them a creative outlet and exposure to art while working on social skills and developing friendships. ArtReach, as we call it, has served an average of 8 women per month, creating art, friendships, and fun! In these days of social isolation due to the pandemic, this has been a boost to their mental health and wellness as well.”
Claire Dees Executive Director Spectrum Autism Support Group 15
“The Gwinnett Creativity Fund has made it possible for the Hudgens Center for Art & Learning to move forward on a large-scale mural project designed to support and promote a local artist and provide improved wayfinding for the community to identify The Hudgens’ landmark facilities. Ultimately, the Gwinnett Creativity Fund project helps us to achieve our goal of cultivating vibrant creative experiences within the community, increasing arts enrichment, engagement and access for all.”
