A fun evening

Art has the power to amplify unheard voices and foster connection. Programs like the Creative Artists Migrant Program Services (CAMPS) provides migrant farmworkers with the resources to express their stories through art. But without funding, this vital work won’t continue. Help make a difference—support arts and culture funding today at www.racf.org/arts.
