SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – July 1, 2022 – Bay Area arts nonprofit DrawBridge has been returning to free, in-person expressive arts programs at its partner sites in Alameda, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Sonoma counties. After successful collaborations last year with Vans® and Flax Art & Design, the organization is ready to announce new program-driven partnerships that serve children and families in the East Bay and North Bay regions.
City of Alameda taps DrawBridge to provide arts programming.
DrawBridge has launched at Esperanza Properties in Alameda, bringing even more expressive arts programming to the East Bay. Children that reside in AHA housing or participate in Section 8 programs are welcome.
