are safe
Art offers Sanctuary to everyone willing

Welcome to the month of November!
Did you know that November is "National Novel Writing Month?" Maybe you've been thinking about writing a book, a poem or just interested in writing. This month is the time to get started by attending the hip-hop or the art of letter writing workshops. Or, join us at the Art Expo for a panel discussion, writing workshops and a book fair featuring Solomon Jones, Lori L. Tharps, Larry Woody and Milton McGriff. There's something for everyone. Hope to see you at one of them!
Happy November,
Art Sanctuary
