The Alpha Workshops


The Alpha Workshops is a unique idea. It's the only non-profit in the country that trains people with HIV/AIDS in the decorative arts. Everything from decorative finishes, gilding, restoration, wallpaper, and lamps is part of their portfolio. And their list of clients now range from individuals to the corporate offices of Benjamin Moore, eBay, as well as Gracie Mansion. Since they started over a decade ago, they've grown from two employees to 30. Alpha, which was started by Ken Wampler, has made a profound impact on the lives of individuals who work there. The also do beautiful work.
