WHAT ABOUT TALIESIN GLOBE-MIAMI STUDIO PROJECT?

After careful review of the results of the Taliesin Globe-Miami Studio Project, The United Fund Board has discontinued their funding of this project.  Our local non-profit mission and vision were not being met by the Studio Project.  To best serve the Globe-Miami Community, we have “circled the wagons” and refocused our investments in local charities.
