Sharing the good stuff!
With over 18 years of the North Village Arts District (NVAD) behind us, we want to thank YOU—the community! Your support has been vital in building our thriving organization.
Just last year, with the help of our 37 dedicated members and partners, we reinvested **$16,000** back into our district through:
- **12 First Fridays** and **5 guided art walks**
- Increased safety measures at the local bus station
- **$3,700** in stipends to local musicians and **5 new permanent art pieces**
And..
We’re excited to celebrate the 20th installation of murals and sculptures for the North Village Arts Walk, made possible by a generous gift from the Veterans United Foundation. We’re nearing the completion of the **$230,000** investment to create a free walking open-air art museum for the community.
# # # **Looking Ahead**
This year, we will expand our music and activity program with the largest grant to date. This enables us to enhance First Fridays with multidisciplinary experiences. Expect a new district newsletter, two upcoming murals, and more! 
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey! �
