Gratitude
We are so grateful for so much! ArteSana grew from an idea to a small but capable nonprofit social enterprise, all thanks to the generosity of many people, organizations and funders who supported us on our journey thus far. Together we did so much to empower women in Holyoke to learn, earn and grow promoting sustainability through a focus on recycling textiles.
