Here at Integral Arts, we are founded on the idea that arts build trust, which builds community. And we set out to prove it with our first event: the Everett Community Art Walk. By providing the opportunity for the public to explore Everett and discover great art, artists, and businesses, we invited conversations, relationships, and vision for our community, with our community. We use our arts events to show that fostering arts and building community makes a place feel more “like home” to our residents and visitors. And when a place feels like home, we find people are more invested in its success, which leads to increased involvement, improved safety, and an overall better place for all of us. As this year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the many ways Integral Arts has already begun to transform our community through arts experiences even in our first year of operation. And we look forward to continuing this vital work for our community.

Onward in Love and Art,
