Building Community Through Art
The Polklore Micro-Museum is the latest example of the Harrison Center using art to build community. Created in partnership with neighbors and housed in the restored Polk Stables building, it showcases the history of the Greatriarchs (long-time residents) in Martindale-Brightwood and welcomes newcomers in.
