What is Happening Carbondale Arts Our new mission is Carbondale Arts builds an inclusive and vibrant community through the arts, supporting Carbondale’s identity as a place that fosters creativity, collaboration, innovation, and artistic exploration. We believe that expression plays an important role in a healthy community. CA has been an intrinsic part of the Carbondale community for close to half a century and we are deeply involved in issues such as affordable housing, economic development, and education in our schools. 2020 projects include the Youth Art Park, several murals, a Highway 82 and Highway 133 Gateway to
Carbondale, and our Expressive Arts Programming. Our home is The Launchpad, located in the core of the Carbondale Creative District. We share our space with Dance Initiative, The R2 Gallery, The Artique, and the Betty Jane Schuss Memorial Community Gardens. Stay connected with us throughout the year by signing up for our newsletter or becoming a member at carbondalearts.com. Use #carbondalearts and #carbondalecreativedistrict on social media.
to ensure arts programming be sustained year round. In 2020, we are committed to our new Expressive Arts Programming on Rosybelle, which is inspiring artists and therapists to explore deeper ways of utilizing art as healing. All the money raised from this show keeps Rosybelle and her programming going strong.
