Board Members Needed!

We do need new board members. ArtSpace is still pretty new and not everyone knows of our school or our concept. Since we very much want to develop strong ties with our local communities, we would welcome any individuals who are well established and connected within the Asheville and Black Mountain area communities. Of course, parents are welcome, but you don't have to be a parent to serve. Please contact us for information about how to serve.
