The creative HUB will be at the center of the project providing inspiration, support, and the space for every artist and for art works.

The goal of the project is to ensure the advancement of inclusiveness, cohesion, and prosperity in local communities through art programming that provide opportunities for artists and people to come together in creation and celebration of culture, art and productive cultural projects.
