Imagine stepping into a world where creativity flourishes and community thrives.

At NorthStar Church of the Arts, we are dedicated to empowering marginalized artists and healing our community through the power of art.

Every day, we open our doors to artists who transform their visions into reality, surrounded and supported by a community that values their voice.

From free multicultural events and performances that inspire and uplift, to artist workshops and residencies that promote growth and innovation, NorthStar is a sanctuary for creativity and expression.

 
 

NorthStar is funded by a community of generous donors, foundation support, and city, state, and federal grants.

 
 
 
 

Join us in our mission to celebrate diversity, amplify marginalized voices, and create meaningful connections through the arts.

Together, we can make a lasting impact and illuminate the path forward for generations to come.

The Freelons share the space. Now it's up to us.

NorthStar Church of the Arts exists today thanks to the incredible generosity of the Freelon family, who entrusted us with this beautiful space to share with our community. While the building has been a gift of opportunity, the organization is fully responsible for sustaining 100% of NorthStar’s programs and operations. Every contribution helps us honor this gift and ensure that NorthStar continues to be a sacred home for art, connection, and growth in our community.

Together, we can keep this vision alive for years to come.
