Urban Art Museum
All in-person events are canceled for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned as we plan to host virtual events.
Join us for a 4-week virtual series to celebrate our programs and recognize the individuals and organizations who’ve impacted them and the community-at-large. This virtual event series is in lieu of our Annual Dinner + Auction. Since we are unable to be together in person, we wanted to take the best part of our annual fundraiser and transform it into a more comprehensive awards series. Each week, we will be featuring a video that shares the story of North Shore CDC along with a 45 minute live virtual “Conversation with North Shore CDC” via Zoom to announce and celebrate each award winner and also celebrate the programs of North Shore CDC.
