The Center: Art + Community

★★★★★John Gallagher

We had my daughter's birthday party here. I don't know how it could have possibly been any better. The girls had so much fun and each one them left proud of their creations and inspired. Cat and her assistant went above and beyond. Everything was super convenient. Some of the parents went downstairs to the brewery while others mingled upstairs nearer to the party. I've had birthdays for my kids at lots of different places but this was by far the most special.

Every community needs a space where they feel welcome to create on their own terms surrounded by a welcoming community with diverse voices. My daughter and I attended the Dias de los Meurtos event in November. It was our first time there and while we know the incredible educator who guided us through this experience, it was our first time being in the space and meeting the founder who was SO welcoming, friendly and kind. From embroidery classes, art-centered play groups for toddlers to pottery there is something for everyone here. We will absolutely be back!

This place is so special! We are so excited to have The Center in our community. My kids (12 & 9) each did a week of summer camp and loved it. Fashion design and video game design camp. My 12 yr old designed and sewed her own outfit and they had an adorable runway show at the end of the week and my 9 yr old (who historically does not like camp) loved designing his own game and learning a new software program. He has NEVER asked to repeat a camp and he asked to do it again next Summer! Thank you so much Cat!!

Cat and her team at The Center hosted an absolutely incredible Wild Wonder camp for our two kids. The kids woke up excited to go back to camp, and each time I picked the up, they had something beautiful they made to proudly show me! We will definitely be signing our kids up again next summer. We're so glad to have this new and vibrant community resource!

We love The Center! Cat and her team run some amazing programming for children where they cultivate creative freedom and confidence through a variety of art projects and experiences. They have some serious teaching experience on their belts and have, more than anything, created a space where children are loved, encouraged, and accepted. We can't say enough about this beautiful spot and the incredible humans who run it. Can't wait for more programming to develop over the years!
