Alley Art Amazin’s artist Tif Choate in Hometown Weekly news. Check out the article:
Alley art Amazin’ has been awarded the Arts in Community grant for a fifth year, thanks to the generosity and support of Lafayette Cultural Arts Commission, City of Lafayette.
LCAC awarded Alley Art the first grant in 2011 and has given money each year. They haven given more money to our organization than almost any other organization and even gone over their usual limit of $1000 and gave $1500 last year. Since Alley Art’s humble beginnings in 2011, LCAC has granted the program the Arts in Community grants each year. Their early support really helped get Alley Art Amazin’ off the ground. Thanks LCAC!!
Last Wednesday evening, June 10th, 2015, was another great meet up at the Hub with Code for Boulder, where the culmination of this very website began six weeks ago. April 29th, 2015 was the first visit for three Alley Art Amazin’ team members, Tif Choate, Elizabeth Matthews and Nadya Davis, to the Impact Hub in Boulder to gather with members of Code for Boulder. Code for Boulder is a network of people committed to using their voices and hands, in collaboration with local governments, to make our cities better. They meet up every other Wednesday evening at 6:30pm at the Impact Hub in Boulder.

The members of Code for Boulder have partnered with Alley Art Amazin’ , with volunteers in the computer sciences, to help build and host our website. Many of their members have given countless hour of coding expertise and design direction in order for our project here in Lafayette to be it’s best. We are so excited to see the transformation of the website and how it will be a great tool for the growth of Alley Art Amazin’.
