LOWE ’ S VOLUNTEERS RENOVATE GILROY CENTER FOR THE ARTS - When Toni Bowles from the Neon Exchange in Downtown Gilroy learned about the Lowe ’ s 100 Hometowns grant program , she applied for the grant on behalf of her neighbors and fellow downtown organization , the Gilroy Center for the Arts / Gilroy Arts Alliance . As recipient of the grant , the Center was given a new coat of paint inside and out .
