Beyond Gallery, Into Community Building
As the birthplace of downtown’s burgeoning arts community, Alwun House was founded on the belief that art has the power to transform, strengthen, and beautify our community. At Alwun House, art is a concrete medium, building a foundation for that transformation – one block at a time.
The culturally diverse area that makes up the Garfield Neighborhood benefits from collaborative projects that strengthen and unify neighborhood participation at Alwun House. In addition, the Alwun House facility is often used by the broader community for social gatherings and planning sessions.
The Garfield Neighborhood, 7th to 16th St, Van Buren to I-10 Fwy, is the most affordable historic neighborhood in downtown Phoenix, with a large population of artists & creative types living and working in homes they own.
