- Foster excellence, cultural equity and diversity of arts and culture in Arlington County;
- Have significant impact on the community or meet a need in the County; and,

What Is Your Guidepost? by Molly McCracken
Join for the last activations of the series! Make a collage postcard illustrating a guidepost made of a stack of hand cut “paper rocks” (otherwise known as a “cairn”) thinking about what landmarks capture your attention in your neighborhood. Write a few words on the postcard about what you are mindful of in your community and place it in the box to be mailed back as a reminder at the end of the project. Meet with Arlington artist Molly McCracken, along with a member from your civic association or a representative from the County’s Arlington Neighborhoods Program to learn how you can be part of building our communities and noticing what makes them special.
