Uni Place Creative District

We aim to unleash the power and potential of Uni Place as a local, regional, national, and global arts hub for all.

Use the Uni Place Creative District as a launching pad to foster connections among our residents, cultivate the vibrancy and resilience of our neighborhood, and celebrate our diversity through the power of creative visions and expression.
