NAFASI ON CENTRE ARTIST RESIDENCY

Nafasi on Centre, located at 2145 Centre Avenue, is a community development initiative utilizing art as a vehicle for community development and cultural preservation. 
Nafasi, which means space and opportunity in Swahili, is the first substantial project to emerge from the Hill District Arts Plan and is a cultural strategy to meet the 5 goals of the Greater Hill District’s Master Plan which aims to: (1) Build Upon the African American Cultural Legacy, (2) Family Friendly Housing Development Without Displacement, (3) Economic Empowerment & Community Development, (4) Make the Hill a Green and Well-Designed Community, and (5) Mobility, Transportation, and Parking.

Nafasi on Centre consist of artist work-space in the basement, a gallery on the first floor, and four 1-bedroom apartments and two micro lofts, spread across the second and third floors. The residency and space at Nafasi on Centre will be programmed and managed by the Hill CDC.
