I wanna take a moment to put the spotlight on one of our Alley Katz doing some dope stuff for the creatives. First, let me show you some of work of our very own Alley Kat…Todgi Dozier!
Alley Kat Artist Todgi is currently in residence at the Greensboro Residency for Original Works (GROW) April 17 to June 11 downtown at the Greensboro Cultural Center. The residency, titled “Thrifted Gold,” will focus on repurposing found materials into art. Matter of fact, just watch the video below she is going to explain it.
We a little late sharing the news, but we still have plenty of workshops to show up for and ways to support the family! Here is the workshop schedule, how to sign up, and other ways to support the mission!
