About
At The Church Project, Community Art Center, we believe the power of the arts unlocks creativity and brings people together to develop and nurture creative problem solving skills that can be applied to everyday life and work environments. We do this through various artistic mediums such as journalism, music, dance, theatre, and visual arts.
​
Our mission is to provide the space and freedom for all people to unlock their creative potential.
​
Not everyone owns the title "Artist", but opportunities steeped in creativity allow people to express themselves and breakdown barriers to social justice.
​
"The Church Project is a space to fail with out embarrassment..."
-Joel (Advisory Board Member, Stone Sculptor)
A piece of history...
Though the project site is a Baptist Church, there is no religious affiliation that drives our programs. However, no matter who you are or what your belief system entails, all are welcome to participate in The Church Project.
I did a Google search in July of 2023, "How to turn a church into an art center..."
An article published by The National Trust for Historic Preservation shared 10 inspiring transformations, read the article, Losing My Religion (But Not the Building).
