Inspiration from 2024:
Last year, Lynnspire supported 15 incredible projects, including:
- Raquel Jimenez’s “Department of Dreams” with RAW Art Works — fostering community aspirations through interactive art installations.
- Wil Renderos and Audio Chemists’ “Nuestro Lente (Our Lens)” — a multimedia initiative capturing diverse community narratives.
- Galleries at Lynn Arts (GALA)’s “Art For All” — providing inclusive, accessible art experiences for all ages.
These projects showcased the power of creativity to bring people together, inspire civic pride, and energize our neighborhoods.
