In The Spotlight! PARTNER SPOTLIGHT- REED SMITH LAW FIRM

We began our relationship last summer with Reed Smith through the connection of Paul Chavez at Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. This amazing law firm has provided much needed services for the African American Art & Culture Complex pro bono. They have helped us update contracts and agreements for our work with artists in the galleries, our facility rentals, sublease agreements and more. We so appreciate having partners in the community to support our work and to help us improve our effectiveness as an organization, because that, in turn, helps us better help you!
