WHY I STAND WITH CGDC

RAY HOGG

"I support CGDC because it strives to bring equity and opportunity to artists. I have a personal mission to “lift the veil” of secrecy that can sometimes permeate this industry. I feel nourished by helping young-in-craft artists examine their career paths and develop strategies for success. CGDC is a tangible way for me to help!"
