The Arts & Culture Collective was established by the Residences at Vantage Point in response to community members’ interest in hosting public activities that engage and educate as well as entertain. This Spring, a musician, a poet and a teaching artist are discussing the process by which they develop and execute their creative output.

The final presentation in the series will showcase Vanita Leatherwood. Leatherwood is a teaching artist, award-winning poet and social change educator with over 30 years of experience in facilitating expressive-arts workshops that awaken creativity, foster personal discovery and build community.
