WASHINGTON INFORMER: With its inaugural gala “Dream in Color,” on Saturday, June 24, the Canady Foundation for the Arts (CFA) not only celebrated local arts, arts educators and artists, but also emphasized the importance of providing young people with artistic opportunities.
“Tonight we are celebrating some incredible artists who are from the DMV, who are doing incredible work in the community, nationally, and throughout the world. And, of course, we’re celebrating our young people,” said CFA Founder and Executive Director Marjuan Canady.
Having pushed arts education with much of her efforts since 2015, Canady celebrated CFA’s work pre-pandemic, and since “the world opened back up.”
“Tonight we’re raising funds to keep this work going and to celebrate, to honor, all of the artists, activists, culture workers that are doing this work every single day,” Canady said during the event.
