CAMPUS

In January 2019, CAN-NC was awarded a property donation at 2400 Summit Avenue (in partnership with the former HandyCapable Network which has since dissolved) by Bell House, Inc., an assisted-living for persons with neurological and physical disabilities forced to close in 2014 due to federal and state policy changes and associated funding cuts. With 10 acres of wooded areas, streams, and fields, our campus has served as a catalyst for expanding collaborations with community partners such as Guilford Urban Farming Initiative, Elsewhere, Montagnard Dega Association, CoMetta, Casa Azul, UNCG, A&T University, New Garden Friends School and more.

Our Building

The 12,000 sq. ft. barrier-free building houses our offices, 18 artist studios,  and the nonprofit Institute for Peace & Harmony, which works to serve communities through charitable, educational, and peacemaking activities. It features two virtual classrooms, a traditional classroom, a full kitchen, a meeting room and two large gathering spaces.

Our Land

Just 3 miles from downtown Greensboro, our beautiful campus is bordered by Highway 29, Sixteenth Street, Summit Avenue, and N. Buffalo Creek, a future site of the Greensboro Greenway. A slice of nature right by the city, it’s not unusual to see a red or gray fox, a wild turkey, deer or raccoons. In the works is our International Garden with outdoor classrooms and nature trails soon to follow.

Our House

 Inman House is a 1000 sq. ft. accessible home built in the late 20’s. We offer it as a short-term rental space for visiting artists-in-residence currently in partnership with Elsewhere. With help from Guilford Urban Farming Initiative, we are currently constructing an International Garden in the side yard to serve refugee elders and their families in the neighborhood. The shed behind the house is rented by a woodworker as her art studio.
