GREEN BAY, Wis (NBC 26) -- A local non-profit is helping support artists and positive change in the Green Bay community.
SAGE Green Bay started about three years ago with a focus on outreach through the arts.

Recently they had a call out to artists for art to display in local businesses downtown as part of a program called "Unity + Diversity." The works of art are displayed in nine businesses including Green Bay's City Hall and the Green Bay Police Department.

The goal of the program is to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, but to also highlight inclusiveness and celebrate diversity in our community. The board for SAGE Green Bay recently approved to have the program continue so they hope to connect with other local businesses and inspire new artists.

There are several ways to show your support for SAGE Green Bay. They accept donations of art supplies and next Tuesday a portion of the sales at Luna Cafe in Bellevue will go towards the non-profit. To connect or book your work time on Tuesdays, follow them on their Facebook page.
