The mission of Brandon House is transforming lives through creative & performing arts!  Brandon House is an urban community-based center that supports creative and artistic skills under 3 program pillars: Creative Education Programs - provide opportunities for underrepresented and underserved youth and young adults to explore their artistic skills in literary, digital, visual, media, and performing arts; Creative Career & Workforce Development – supports the career development and advancement of aspiring artists, musicians, and creative professionals through promotional and marketing services, entrepreneurship training and business resources; and Performing Arts – promote a creative economy and economic development through affordable live entertainment events and cultural activities.

Our goal is to seek guidance on how we can make the new facility we seek to acquire into a public space for community use - not to just meet the mission of our organization; but how to use the space to connect to the larger community, offer affordable workspaces for artists, exhibit space, and rehearsal spaces [space planning].  We seek guidance on how to effectively market this space to attract local creative professionals.   We seek technical assistance and guidance from Artspace on launching our capital campaign during the pandemic.   We want to understand from other arts organizations how to create best practice virtual platforms using multiple delivery modes (i.e., podcast, videos, blogs). We hope to learn about real estate management. Finally, we want to network with other successful arts organization to learn about their space growth and development.
