This organization provides a great presence in the center of town for both artists and those who enjoy art. I enjoy the inclusive way the staff welcome artists and give them opportunities to share their work both in the monthly art displays and at various local sites. I participated in several small classes at the center that widened my experience and enriched my life. Thanks, GFAC, for continuing to shine and encourage us all.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could provide more classes, extend its services, and expand art activities with children and adults.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are a lack of funding and of public awareness of all they provide.
One thing I'd also say is that being downtown is great, but some who might come to evening functions are afraid to go into the area after dark.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the quality of its art displays and its encouragement of the arts in the Flint community, including its informative website.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
expand the opportunity for others to try new art forms with small classes and demonstrations of new techniques.
