Arts co-ops

They say one thing leads to another. It certainly seems to be true for local congressional office director and part-time jewelry artist Linda Danforth. “Things” have led Danforth most recently to combine her political job with a part-time crafting business — and also with operation of a downtown artists’ co-operative,
