I found out about Project Onward at one of their booths set up at a local art fair and decided to volunteer this summer. I walk in the first day and am greeted by very kind staff. I help out in the office but had the delightful pleasure of talking with some of the professional artists. I value this place highly because it is so honest and sincerely devoted to the arts and helping artists that may otherwise be disadvantaged develop their skills and sell their works. There is no other organization like this that I know of. I love coming here everyday.
