The Gallery Episode 9: The Art Room with Dalphine Woodward

PAC Art Room Coordinator Dalphine Woodward shares how a welcoming community art space became an anchor during her experience of being unhoused, and how she now helps make that refuge available to others. We discuss creativity, belonging, dignity, faith, and the volunteers and participants who make the room a true community space.
