Elliot Perry and Crosstown Arts are collaborating with New Hope Christian Academy (NHCA), an urban elementary school in the Frayser community of Memphis, to curate Exhibit: Hope. The show is a component of a larger arts-focused fundraising event, Arts on the Grounds, that will celebrate and benefit NHCA and its Arts Academy program.

New Hope currently enrolls over 420 students from grades PK3 – 6^th and is now in its 20^th year. The school offers a challenging intellectual and Christ-centered learning environment with a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities for its students. The unique school grounds consist of a working “urban” farm, an adjacent “urban” forest of several acres (for experimental outdoor learning), as well as a STEAM-inspired maker space. Through these upcoming events, we look forward to raising awareness of the future needs (and current highlights) of NHCA’s growing Arts Academy program.
