In the spirit of World Art Day today, we asked Alliance member Briarwood Arts Center how they cultivate artistic expression and how the arts positively impact the community they serve. Here's what they had to say:
"Briarwood Arts Center operates as a hub for aspiring artists to learn from seasoned mentors and bond with like-minded creatives in a non-judgmental space. We are an idea factory where community members have the freedom to explore their most casual interests but gain the capacity to transform their hobbies into side hustles/livelihoods."
"Our space was a blighted, abandoned property for many years before we repurposed it into the thriving cultural beacon that it is today. With our building being located in northeast Jackson, adjacent to what was once an abandoned gas station and a motel that had become characterized by illicit activities, our parking lot mural became our way of hoisting our flag for the entire community. It was a symbol to the entire city that the residents here deserve a safe, clean, environment that values art, pride, and human dignity."
