What Matters Warren

Heather Davis and Tammy Ruggiero present The Bridge Project

Published

on

Local poet and writer, Heather Davis has launched a project called The Bridge Project into our community with the intention of connecting people across all types of differences.  The call is out for us all to participate by creating art or writing that expresses what is inside our heart.  How do we want to connect?  What does connection mean to us individually?  In a world that feels so divided sometimes, let’s join together and build a bridge!  The final product will be a bridge for display all around town to admire and explore. How fun!
