“WRAP is honored to be partnering with Zillow Group in bringing this virtual recycled art creation program to Zillow Group’s global employee base,” says Yana Good Nigen WRAP’s Executive Director, “These recycled art creation experiences unite teams, alleviate stress, and build resilience so much needed these days. We are in this together and art will help us heal and become stronger.”
