Spring Event 2012
Congratulations to The Parliament! The YorIt membership voted to grant a $5,000 Social Venture Challenge award to the energetic and committed arts collective The Parliament.
 
The award will be used as seed money to grow the good work they are doing to organize music and art events in downtown York, provide venues for local artists to show their work, and create opportunities for all people to be creative. The Parliament's volunteers and artists demonstrated their professionalism by installing an amazing show of local art and transforming the MarketView Arts space into a world-class gallery.
