Trellis kicks off new “Good Neighbor Initiative” with art show featuring artistically designed front porch benches that will be awarded to 12 deserving individuals
GOOD NEIGHBOR INITIATIVE – WHO DESERVES THE BEST SEAT ON THE BLOCK?
Trellis and the 6th Avenue Gallery are kicking off a new “Good Neighbor Initiative” at a First Friday event that features 12 creatively designed, one-of-a-kind front porch benches that will awarded to 12 deserving good neighbors, once a month, throughout the year. Trellis, a 40-year old Valley nonprofit dedicated to making stable homes and communities possible, is launching the “Good Neighbor Initiative” in conjunction with National NeighborWorks Week (June 6-13). Come see, and sit in these warm and welcoming benches that have been designed by local artists, and nominate a good neighbor to win one for his/her front porch. The front porch bench exhibition includes a backdrop of captivating images from the lenses of photo journalists at The Arizona Republic.
Guests can also enjoy live music, refreshments, and the opportunity to add to a bench that will be designed by community members throughout the evening.
