“My project Poetry on the Streets, initially got its start with the support of GHAC in 2017! I’m grateful for that seed as POTS has grown and evolved over the years, continuing to engage communities, connecting everyday people to the poetry of everyday life and bringing people’s words into public spaces. I also served on GHAC‘s Artist Advisory Committee during the pandemic, discussing accessibility when the arts were needed most.” Melanie Faranello Melanie pappadis Faranello

Melanie has taken Poetry on the Streets (POTS) to the next level over the past decade. We love to see the amazing work she is doing in the community.
Supporting the GHAC gives artists like Melanie the seeds they need to start or growth their creative dreams. Your contribution matters. Visit 55.letsgoarts.org to make a donation for our 55th anniversary.

“The Hart at Work Project was an incredible experience. For years, I dreamt of shining a light on the hardworking tradespeople of the Hartford community. Artist grants empower us to create freely…the support for this project granted me the freedom to execute it with complete creative control.” - Keith Claytor (Keith Claytor)

We love to provide artists with opportunities to create work that is meaningful to them and the community. To help the GHAC continue to support artists like Keith, please visit letsgoarts.org to make a donation to our 55th anniversary campaign.
Your generosity allows us to invest in the arts in our region.

We’re pairing our posts with music our storyteller is vibing with right now, because that’s how we do it here 😄. Keith has been listening to New Orleans Second Line music lately. Enjoy the energy!
