(David helping with our first Underground Supper Club.) I have lived in Three Rivers for close to ten years.

As a part of our annual Future Fest in July 2011, The Huss Project hosted a Culture Make Sale. We invited artists from around the country to sell pieces of art they made and donate the proceeds to raise funds for Huss. In the photo above, former *cino intern Elizabeth Wroughton is taking a look...
