We have been working hard to reimagine how our community can connect to our local artists.

Hope Park is introducing our new series, The Artist Collective, a fresh take on our previous Meet an Artist series.

The Artist Collective is an opportunity for artists to engage with other artists, to speak openly and honestly about their journey and to better connect with one another.

We are so excited about The Artist Collective and can’t wait to bring you the first episode very soon! Stay tuned…
