We are also thankful for our partnership with the Castle Rock Artist Alliance (CRAA). CRAA serves local artists by providing an organization that will increase knowledge, understanding, and appreciation for all forms of art by providing regular meetings, informative programs, exhibitions, demonstrations, and opportunities for exposure. CRAA also provides members with mentorship, support, and encouragement in their development as both artists and business people.
