Celebrating 3 Years Of Inclusive Arts Clubhouse Foundation And 10 Years Of Impact
The Grace Fisher Foundation 3rd Anniversary Party celebrating the Inclusive Arts Clubhouse was a huge celebration of the magical Grace Fisher’s Clubhouse and ten years of free inclusive arts programing it has provided to area residents brought out a huge crowd to celebrate with Grace and staff at the colorful and welcoming center located at 120 S. Hope Ave in La Cumbre Plaza.
Guests enjoyed live music by Meghan Downing, a performance by Sing Sign & Dance Troupe, hands-on art activities, light bites, the enchanting Lavender Lemonade Bar (donated by La Peche Events), and a delicious cake. Attendees also enjoyed perusing the accessible and colorful space that has become a hub for inclusive arts in Santa Barbara, as well as experience an opportunity to meet Grace and her charming staff to learn about their mission and how people of all abilities participate in music, visual arts, dance, and community events designed to foster creativity, confidence, and belonging.
“I’m excited the community has come to see the transformation of the clubhouse, 3 years in the making. We have loved growing alongside our community and listening carefully to the needs around us so we can serve in the most meaningful way,” says Grace Fisher.
Founded by Grace Fisher; artist, composer, and advocate who happens to be a quadriplegic. The Grace Fisher Foundation’s mission is to expand access to the arts for people of all abilities, creating opportunities for creative expression, performance, and community connection. Grace and the team have worked to create spaces where people of all abilities can express themselves fully.
The overflow crowd at the Clubhouse, included long-time friends and supporters like Mr. & Mrs. Dana Newquist, Nancy Newquist-Nolan and Rachel Quittner, the Barbara Ireland family, Carolyn Jabs family, City of Santa Barbara Council members Oscar Gutierrez and Kristin Sneddon, County and State representatives from Assemblyman Gregg Hart and Senator Monique Limon’s office who presented Grace Fisher with proclamations of recognition, as well as throngs of local area families who are past and present participants in the versatile programs at the Clubhouse.
There really are not enough words to share the love and inspiration Grace Fisher and her Clubhouse have provided in this community to so many people, but this amazing gathering made it so clear what a difference Grace’s journey and the devotion of her family and staff have made to so many over the years. Happy Anniversary and thank you for the magic you bring Grace Fisher!
