The atmosphere was both celebratory and purposeful. It was here that The ACGG’s ArtsFund program launched its 2026 campaign, already 49 percent of the way toward its $550,000 goal.

Every Wednesday morning, a circle of chairs fills up in Dance Project‘s studio. People with Parkinson’s settle in for an hour of movement, breath, and connection. This simple setup creates something powerful: a space where isolation and suffering is eased via a community, in which moving together becomes a form of healing.
