@breequixote is always up to amazing things, exploring the intersection of art and community activism and engagement. We’re exited to be a financial supporter of this project she’s undertaking with @timeoutyouthcenter. Bree is the recipient of a $1,000 “Bear HUG” grant for previous HUG Micro-Grant recipients. Learn more or apply yourself at HUGGrant.com and follow Bree to watch this program develop. ❤️ Posted @withregram • @breequixote Started a new mural with the youth from Time Out Youth. These young people are so funny, well-adapted, intuitive and talented. I’m so lucky.
