We are thrilled to launch the LAST Wave of Herons on the Bayou. We will be allowing 13 more herons to be sponsored to cap our Herons at a grand total of 100 Herons. 100 HERONS is a dream for the team!
Each heron is a $7500 donation to the Downtown Arts Alliance and all proceeds will go to the creation of a Sunset Program. The Sunset Program will allow a very structured system on the spending of all funding raised. The goals for the funding are to add more public art in our area, opportunities for education on the Arts, funding for camps/workshops and other programing for all ages.
