Aspiring artists from within the Gainesville Housing Authority’s public housing completed a weekly summer art class offered through a partnering of the GHA and the Quinlan Visual Arts Center. The free class was designed specifically for low-income children, teaching them creative problem-solving skills through working in paint, clay, drawing and other media such as recycled art. Classes were taught Friday afternoons at the Davis Street community center with participants coming from within GHA’s dozen-plus Gainesville properties.
