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. 

Donors and partners like you make it possible for projects like Polklore to connect artists and patrons to neighborhoods and communities.
