It was the Día del Sol of the Decade!

Thanks to generous contributions from our sponsors, artists, and other donors, Día del Sol 2011 was an event for the record books. Not only did more people attend the event than ever before (200 in all), but we raised more than $60,000 to support the programs and services of the Cook Arts Center and the Cook Library Center. We are pleased that the community continues to support Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities so generously.

Mark your calendars for next year's Día del Sol which will be held on Thursday, June 21, 2012, from 5:00-7:30 p.m.

Here are the organizations and individuals whose generous contributions of time, talent, and treasure made this the most successful Día del Sol yet:
