Recovery happens inside a community.
The Creative Arts Community Center is a project of The Blackburn Foundation. It is a place where people make things together: lessons, classes, workshops, performances and open studio time.
All programming is free, inclusive and low-barrier. Cost, background and experience never stand in the way of taking part. There is no audition and nothing to prove.
