Alwun House awarded 2013 GOVERNOR’S ARTS AWARD, Community Category
We received this year’s Governor’s Arts Award, in the community category. Presented by Arizona Citizens Action for the Arts, and Arizona Commission on the Arts, the program notes read, “Alwun House Foundation stands as an exemplary model of engaging the power of art to transform lives and transform community.” Adding, “for more than 40 years, the Alwun House foundation has created opportunities for artists and served as a pivotal beacon in the Garfield community and as a foundation for the downtown Phoenix arts scene. Their work extends across artistic and cultural boundaries, and brings diverse audiences, community members and artists together. Without the pioneering work of Alwun House, much of what is taken for granted in the vibrancy and success of downtown’s flourishing arts community would not have been possible.”

It’s not abstract – Alwun House is the hidden treasure one would expect from our metropolitan city lfe. We’ve invested 3 years in the planning, and $180,000 to date – mostly from average folks limited in funds, to cool cats with cash. But we’ll only be able to start construction by securing our final $85,000. It’s achievable, with serious heart-felt contributions from knowledgeable community-minded folks like you, knowing the significance of this timely small, medium or larger donations.
