"This project functions on a community-supported level, free of politics, and that is it's purpose. It's mission is to bring artists together with art patrons to explore & fund projects, create working relationships, and build a network", Neuhaus said accepting the award, "What motivates us to foster this project is simple: bringing the community together over soup to fund some art, on-the-quick, without a 501 C 3 status, without red tape, just immediate access to funding...We find this incredibly freeing."

AG is thrilled to be included among all the killer and wildly generous volunteer projects that are capturing Dubuque's sense of place and strengthening our community....A two-fisted-double-pump-shout-out to the Du-Ride Team!! Dang, watch those folks, go!
