Photo credit: Angela Perry Latest News with Legacy Arts So much has transpired since our last newsletter in August. The unease of humanity, striking within hearts and homes around the world. None of us immune. What becomes of our time, our presence, our interactions with each other? What is our responsibility to this lifetime? As an arts organization, what is our duty? What is our role? As we seek the answers as an organization, it becomes clear that the journey is personal. We must embody and enact the very ideals that wish to see in the world. We must show up, ready to love who we are, loving each other, and intending the healing of humanity. Since last you heard from us, we've been in a state of transition. Preparing to move from one space to another has had us a little off the radar. Nevertheless, we have continued our momentum, bubbling beneath the surface, preparing for the seasons ahead. And we return with renewed senses, feelings of gratitude for our work; that of Legacy, the arts community, the city of Pittsburgh, and the world. We realize that we are here to create, express, and experience the wonders and love of being human - mind, body, and spirit.

For most, all of that is true. For Legacy, we know that its all that, then some. The new partnership between Gwen's Girls and Legacy bring approximately 20 girls to experience movement, art-making, and group conversation weekly, all for the sake of cultural exposure and well-being. Legacy adopts the maxim that people are able to thrive when they know who they are. We work with artists to create programming that strengthens self-identity, builds creative skills, and embraces the uniqueness of each individual. The partnership is scheduled to continue through the new year. Upcoming Events Did You Say You Want to DANCE!!!
