Our Neighbors are saying:
BAG is an amazing place where community and creativity flourish. Amanda and Jon have created a fun and educational space where, kids, teens, and adults can express themselves freely through many mediums. They are wonderful educators and will give as much or as little instruction as you or the kids would like. Definitely take the time to try a class or just come to be in a safe space where not only will you be accepted, but also celebrated.
-Katie W.
Fantastically Fun!
-Eli W.
We love BAG! After our family was turned away from another program, BAG wasted no time in adding additional activities to accommodate the need for inclusive spaces for all children in our area. We are so thankful for BAG!
