Arts One Presents Inc

Arts one presents provides curatorial services to businesses and organizations. Over the past year, the children's safety center partnered with aop to curate art by local artistsfor the new facility in springdale, featuring site-specific installations by aime papazian, roxyerickson, dena hudson, and leah grant. The project involved a call for art, resulting in more than30 pieces adorning the walls of the administrative and therapy wings of the center. Each artworkwas carefully selected and created, telling a story that resonates with the mission of the csc andthe children they serve.
