Community Outreach
The FAC regularly schedules events with local and international professional artists who give lectures and teach workshops to the community. In the past five years, the FAC has hosted artists from England, carnival experts from Trinidad, a performer and costume maker from Liberia and a sculptor from New York. These artists have furthered the technical skills of the community and have significantly improved the quality of art the FAC produces. The FAC understands that involving local and international artists is invaluable in inspiring and empowering the community.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
