Community Works

Community Works had the opportunity to build the Party Ark, a gift-giving vessel, integrated at the Connectivity Summit. We had a great time bringing an old project back to life and offering it as an intentional contribution.

Huge thanks to The Production Alliance team for the collaboration and support.

Over the weekend, the Party Ark was filled with handmade gifts from and for the community, and it will continue to collect offerings at events throughout the spring before being presented at Rhody Fest.
