Community Education at Make.Shift
In 2022, Riley wrote, planned, and launched a new series of community education programs at Make.Shift Art Space in Bellingham, Washington.
This project focused on increasing access to the arts for people of all ages and all experience levels and creating more opportunities for intergenerational learning and community engagement in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
The programs launched in October 2022, and by March 2023 had brought in over $50,000 in grant funding for Make.Shift.
