CAMPUS
Gifted to CAN-NC in January 2019 by Bell House, Inc., a former assisted-living for persons with neurological and physical disabilities, our 10+ acre campus of wooded areas, streams, and fields serves as a hub for community collaborations, creative expression, multicultural and intergenerational programs, and lifelong learning in the arts.
Our Building
The 12,000 sq. ft. barrier-free building houses our offices, 22 artist studios, an art room, clay studio, large kitchen, gathering spaces, shaded patios and a gazebo.
Our Gardens, Trails & Land
Our beautiful land is bordered by Highway 29, Sixteenth Street, Summit Avenue, and N. Buffalo Creek, a future site of the Greensboro Greenway. Behind our building is our Hillside Pollinator Garden designated as a Monarch Waystation (an intentionally-managed garden that provides food and habitat for the endangered Monarch butterfly population). Beside our house is our International Garden where we grow produce from around the world to share with elders and their families with limited income. A slice of nature just 3 miles from downtown, it’s not unusual to see a red or gray foxes, a wild turkey, deer, raccoons and a wide range of birds.
Our House
Inman House is a 1000 sq. ft. accessible home built in the late 20’s. We currently use it for fiber arts programs such as sewing, loom weaving, and Montagnard backstrap weaving. The yard surrounding the house hosts our International Garden including raised beds, accessible paths, and an outdoor classroom.
