Urban ArtWorks

Through the month of December, BW is having an ArtDrive! We would love to have as many supplies as possible to help out Urban ArtWorks and we're depending on YOU to help our drive be a success.

Urban ArtWorks is a nonprofit organization that works with at risk and volunteer youth to create public art. In its 14 years of existence ArtWorks' youth have created hundreds of murals throughout King County, learning the lessons of employment, creative expression and community connection. Thanks to The Queen Anne/Magnolia News , BW and ArtWorks has made the connection. Yes! We do read the little press!
