Meet & Greet

A unique social bonding exercise in Alwun’s informal garden setting. The friendly trust-building “Meet and Greet” series brings together community and police; Central City Precinct Commanders and beat officers, Garfield Organization members and residents. For several years now, this activity successfully brakes down perception barriers, encouraging light interaction – over food, games, and resident talent entertaining. These events increase attendance and enthusiasm at our monthly Garfield Community & Law Enforcement meetings, and engage the art of social dialogue connecting residents and police.

Population(s) Served

In partnership with Neighborhood Housing Services of Phoenix, Roosevelt Row and City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department NIA team, we bring together mortgage bankers, non-profit, housing counselors and realtors to facilitate qualification, assistance and personal contacts. One outcome is the increasing numbers of low-mod first time home ownership by artists and creative entrepreneurs.

Exhibit founder, John Avidesian (art teacher), states "the goal is to give students the experience and excitement of a real gallery setting, surrounded by parents, teachers, neighbors and civic leaders. For many it will be a first time seeing their art on display in a gallery. For others it will be the first time they've seen an art exhibit.” This show of vibrant, hopeful and promising group of downtown youth, usually features 300 pieces made by students in the 5th through 8th grades, in addition bands, choir, Folklorico dance, all representing 16 Schools, and 18 teachers.
