Third street honored at 2023 art stars
On April 28, 2023, we were honored to win a "Louie" at the Laguna Beach Art Alliance's 15th annual Art Star Awards for Best Arts Collaboration for our ekphrastic chapbook Art Inscribed. Working with the Festival of Arts and funded by a generous grant from the FOA Foundation, we raised over $1100 for The Artists Fund's hardship grant program.
