Art isn’t just for the experts - it’s the heart of our local community! In this episode of Right Down the Street, Mayor Barnett stops by Paint Creek Center for the Arts (PCCA) to sit down with Executive Director Shaun Hayes. They’ll dive deeper into the local art scene and discover how the PCCA powers the region's creativity year-round.
