DETAILS

Conceived of and built by a collective of neighbors who knew the importance of community arts and wanted a dedicated space for creative development in their neighborhood, CHAW has been a community anchor in Capitol Hill since it made its debut in 1972. Although much has changed since its founding, CHAW remains remarkably timeless. The same spirit and essence that fueled its founding in those early days is present in the building today. The people may change but shared humanity, love of community, creative curiosity and passion for art are the bedrock foundation for a place that has served tens of thousands of people over the past half a century. Please join us on Saturday, April 2nd for CHAWbaret GOLD, a cabaret style performance that promises to be a fun and fabulous celebration of CHAW’s rich 50-year history. 6:30 pm: catered reception with live jazz by pianist Amy K.
