Emerge Founders Come Together to Help Keep Famous Art Studio Open

The founders of Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative — Chris Adams, Kip Morris, and Doug Van Dyke — have once again demonstrated their commitment to community by stepping up to support a beloved local institution.

Community First

When they learned that a famous local art studio was at risk of closing, the three entrepreneurs came together to help ensure it could remain open and continue serving the community.

A Pattern of Giving

This act of generosity is consistent with the founders' approach to business and community involvement. From founding Emerge to support individuals in recovery, to supporting local arts and culture, they demonstrate that successful business leaders can make a significant positive impact in their communities.

Rebuilding Communities

The same spirit that led to the creation of Emerge — a belief in second chances and community investment — drives the founders to support other organizations and causes that strengthen the Miami Valley.
