Volunteers help build outdoor classroom for Backstreet Arts BY LAUREL HUSTER laurel@newnan.com
A
team of volunteers spent their weekend helping build an outdoor classroom for Backstreet Community Arts. Kim Ramey, director of Backstreet Arts, said they have tried to stay in touch with their participants while they’ve been closed for seven months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We realized what an important service Backstreet offers for people staying mentally healthy,” Ramey said. Ramey said she was trying to think of ways they could reopen the studio again, as safely as possible. She said many Backstreet Arts participants are in higher-risk categories. To make it safer for everyone, they decided to create an outdoor classroom space. BACKSTREET . 2
