Junior Center Fire Relief Fund
On Sunday, March 28, a fire at the Junior Center of Art & Science (https://juniorcenter.org/) in Oakland caused devastating loss. Fire, smoke and water damage means the building will not be safe for use for the foreseeable future.
Richmond Art Center calls on our community to support this vital non-profit! The Junior Center has provided a safe space for young people and families to play, create and explore in Oakland for over 65 years. Let’s help it continue!
Support the Junior Center’s Fire Relief Fund…
