So thankful for my parent’s support over the years. I’ve loved having them with me at these events the last couple of years and it’s so fun to have this tradition together! ❤️ Thank you for such a great experience

This is such a wonderful organization to give back to! Every dollar given makes us able to host free events for all to enjoy 🫶🏼

We know today is Giving Tuesday, but here’s the deal: donations are never a requirement to enjoy the Granville Center for the Arts. You’ll always be welcome at all our events, whether you donate or not. Because for us, it’s not about money—it’s about people. We believe in creating a Granville where the arts are inclusive, accessible, and for everyone. And your presence at our events? That’s the most valuable contribution of all. 🫶

You may not know this, but in a year and a half, our small but mighty independent, 100% volunteer-run nonprofit arts center has hosted over 250 FREE events! 🎉 From public art installations and hands-on workshops to concerts and creative classes, we’ve become a vibrant hub for Granville’s culture and community.

Of course, making all this magic happen is costly, but our incredible volunteers, neighbors, and talented artists (seriously, you’re rock stars) have made it possible. Every bit of time, talent, and treasure they’ve shared has brought the center to life, and we’re beyond grateful.

We understand your inbox is overflowing with donation requests from incredible organizations, and we encourage you to support them first. You’re making the world better, and that’s awesome. But if, after all that generosity, you still have $5 left to give, we humbly ask you to consider the arts center. We’re one of the few nonprofits where 100% of your donation goes directly into creating free, inclusive arts experiences for you and your family. It might not seem like much, but if every one of our social media followers gave just $5, we could fund dozens more free events and creative opportunities for our entire community. Comment if you do donate so we can thank you!

So go ahead, give yourself a big hug—you’ve earned it! Without you, this wonderful, vibrant arts center wouldn’t be possible. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply show up with a smile, you are the reason this place thrives. Thank you for being the heart of it all!

With all the gratitude in our hearts,
Your friends at the Granville Center for the Arts

I was honored to photograph two events this week, the grant award reception for the and the Licking County Foundation luncheon. I’m doing more event photography as my business slowly shapes itself and it’s been such a fun experience. I love being around all these people who are doing amazing things for our community and I’m becoming better at what I do each day. Thank you to both of these wonderful organizations for letting me capture these events so you can actually experience them in the moment. And if you need someone to photograph events for you feel free to reach out to me!

Spent the week in NY visiting a dear friend with my little. We chased waterfalls, made harvest brooms with dried flowers from the garden, and caught up on life. Thank you for your patience while I was away, my soul needed this moment to turn off life and just exist in nature.

So incredibly happy for Danielle owner of Bath & Biscuits for winning the “America’s Coolest Pet Contest”. Love this article about how she forged her own path in our little village! There’s also a few nods to the website that I redesigned which makes my heart very proud.

She puts her unique spin on the grooming salon and boutique, infusing her personal style and love for each individual pet into a successful business.

Thank you Mom & Dad for supporting me through another season! I love you both so much. And happy early Mother’s Day Momma ❤️

Tunes & Tales has wrapped for the season! So thankful for this group of wonderful humans who love on my little spudnick while I work. They make it so little one can experience the arts, socialize himself, and let Momma work. Love this program series so much and I can’t wait for it to start back up in September!
