A grassroots arts hub with exhibitions, classes, a community garden, and Mercado 536 supporting local makers. Regularly activated by Arts Connection and county partners, it’s where SB’s creative energy gathers.
An awesome non-profit art center that spotlights local art in the IE. So many different classes are available and there's so many events to attend. I follow their Instagram to stay updated. I recently went to their "Into the Light Project" exhibition.

This community center supports artists to explore and grow their talents. Young people exposed their paints and other artisan works on March/30/24. The staff is very attentive and the director of the center very kind and supportive. They have a beautiful garden and a spacious place where they hold events. They also have an art store where you can find beautiful handcrafts and paints made by the students from the same center. You should stop by and explore for yourself, you may find something you will love forever.

This place is amazing! So much going on for the community.
I teach capoeira on Saturday mornings at 11am there, and I’ve seen so many cool events and classes take place there in the past two years.
I highly recommend you check out the center, the garden is blooming :)
