ART + PARK COLLECTIVE
The Art & Park Collective is a partnership with ABAG and Summit Metro Parks, establishing equitable opportunities for black artists in Summit County. Artists will produce learning experiences through a series of nature-inspired workshops to showcase the work of local Black artists in various Summit Metro Park locations.
