History

In early 2020, Free Arts completed its building renovation for the newly named Bob & Renee Parsons Place for Art and Transformation. Unfortunately, COVID-19 halted all plans for an official re-opening celebration. While our programs adapted and continued serving children in our community, we took time to re-imagine a different way of celebrating this milestone. Instead of a large-scale gathering, Free Arts decided to a series of small-group tours called Transformation Celebrations. Free Arts is hosting four days of special tours between January and May of 2022. Each day features 3-4 tour times where 20 attendees (split into groups of 6-7 people) can explore the upgraded facilities and enjoy interactive ways to learn about Free Arts and the children we serve. Activities include resilience-building art projects, conversations with artists, and creative volunteer projects. Attendees can also enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages. Free Arts is excited to showcase Parsons Place as a community resource for local partners. Transformation Celebrations are a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together and courageously connect with friends, old and new.

Connect and Create With Children

We know that children build resilience when they’re surrounded by caring, supportive adults. We provide the training, you provide the time.
