Hello Freehold Community,

Since the sun has been shining, we have been noticing the smiles are multiplying both on the street and around Freehold. The weather is only part of the reason for our grins ... we are also happy to announce that we have a great line-up of spring classes and our annual auction is right around the corner on May 13th (more information to come).

We hope you enjoy our spring articles:

*Rebecca Tourino - Read Rebecca's moving insights regarding her recent Engaged Theatre work

*Amy Thone - Go behind the scenes with Amy on her latest work

*Ana Maria Campoy - Follow along on Ana Maria's Studio Series journey from inception to completion

Wishing you all a wonderful spring!

Best,

Kate Gavigan

Communications Manager, Freehold
