Please join the Mesquite Arts Council as they present their first Tote-and-Go of 2024. On Mon, Feb 5 at 12 PM the Mesquite Arts Center will be handing out “Tote + Go” services inspired by artist Faith Ringgold and her quilting works + Rowan Bearden collage works. Both of these kits are created to celebrate artists who contribute to the history of Black History Month.
