HAPPY FROGTOWN is also supported by and working towards the work of the Victoria Theater Arts Initiative (VTAI). Over the past several years VTAI has been working to turn a long vacant historic theater near University Avenue and Victoria into a community-owned venue with space for visual and performing arts. Your donation towards this project will help create a stronger, more beautiful community in Frogtown and Summit-University. www.victoriatheater.org
