Intertwine Arts was honored to recieve the IAHD Community Partnership Award at their Annual Fundraising event! Via IAHD: “This valuable relationship began when the first loom was introduced in 2020 to the Tarrytown Day program. Weaving has been transformative for people and has created an outlet that allows individuals to express themselves and build self-confidence. Intertwine Arts has brought the peaceful beauty of weaving to people we support at IAHD and has since become a vital part of their lives.”
