Roosevelt Arts Council forms

The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association has applied a Small and Simple Grant from the City that it plans to use for the formation of the Roosevelt Arts Council.

The arts council is wasting no time in getting started. It has already planned several projects, including the design and installation of street banners to be hung in the heart of the Roosevelt business district (along Roosevelt and Northeast 65th), as well as spearheading the renovation of the Cowen Park Building for use as a community center and art school.

According to the Roosevelt Neighborhood Association's February newsletter: "Plans are underway to have a permanent art center that will be busy night and day with classes for young and old alike."

To participate in the banner project, call Sharon Hines at 525-9503; To participate in the Cowen Park Building project, call Dan McGowan at 526-8927.
