Highs and Lows
and a whole lot of surprises in between.
Bring it on 2021!
As 2020 comes to a close all of us at Bell Arts Factory would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our dedicated, steadfast supporters. You have helped us continue bringing our community together through the arts, in spite of the countless difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aided by the generosity of our donors, our most important arts programs successfully pivoted to virtual events, exhibitions, and classes, allowing us to provide kids in our neighborhoods access to the arts through virtual Zoom programs like Creando en Casa.
With your help, we can come out stronger than ever in 2021!
