It Takes a Village arrives wired and ready to hang. My genius husband Aaron Swanson carefully crafts each panel with high-quality wood, mounting a smooth plywood surface onto a sturdy, mitred wooden frame that provides depth and support to the painting. The sides of the panel are sanded and finished for smoothness.

The community story that inspired It Takes a Village….
In 2016, The Reclaimed Project founded The Village to provide very low-cost downtown apartments for teachers who move to Marks to teach in local public schools. The downtown storefront is a community space that hosts a community coffee each Wednesday, Kids Club after school program, a Ladies in Prayer group, and Gents, a mentor program for young boys.
