Art Auction




Our 3rd Annual FBD Art Auction is coming up after Spring break!! We are currently collecting all types of art, and we'll be accepting donations until the end of March. The event is open to the community, and all proceeds cover costs of projects for our clients, so your donation will go directly to making a difference in someone's life. If you or anyone you know is interested in donating, contact Maria at kenne474@umn.edu or talk to any of the other FBD officers. Thanks!

Oak Park Community Center Project

Our current project is redesigning a classroom/playroom at the Oak Park Community Center located in North Minneapolis. We are working on developing and building benches that will double as storage, and reorganizing the existing shelves and furniture in the room. We are also going to build a doll house, kitchen set, and other toys for the children there!

How the classroom looks now:




Some of the shelves we'll reuse:



Our next FBD meeting (on Friday Feb. 11th) will be our second design charrette to finalize plans for the project, and we'll start construction as soon as we can after that!
