Artist Vanessa German's Homewood 'ArtHouse' Looks To Rebuild After Fire
90.5 WESA: Nationally known artist Vanessa German has vowed to rebuild the ArtHouse, the grassroots community center she founded in Homewood that was extensively damaged in a fire this past Sunday.
It is so inspiring to see places like the Art House and how cherished they are in the communities to which they belong. Obviously it's devastating to see a treated place like this suffer a destructive fire like this. But I just checked the Go-Fund me and as of me writing this comment, they have surpassed their goal by over $10,000! The organizer and founder of the art house is optimistic so I will choose to be too. This amazing woman, Vanessa German, is not only a renowned artist, but owner and operator of this facility. I am in awe of how she took her creativity and used it to make a community stronger. She single handedly changes lives every day. If not for the people in my community back home that let me have a creative outlet when it wasn't their job or they had nothing to gain, I would not be anywhere near where I am today. I truly hope the Art House can be up and running as soon as possible so they can get back to making the world a better place.
