A work of heART.

Built in 2010, the Clubhouse is a living, breathing artwork—one cherished by its neighborhood and deeply loved by generations. To the wider world, and mostly unbeknownst to the kids who pass through its doors, ARTifact has quietly served as a creative muse behind the scenes of some of the world’s most iconic brands; earned countless awards; inspired academic scholarship; helped spark the launch of innovative companies; and produced work that in many cases pre-dated ideas later celebrated by internationally recognized artists. Yet here, within these walls, ARTifact is simply and profoundly loved—with all our heART—for what it is: a place where coats are hung on the wall, egos are left at the door, and art exists inside art, in real time—where creativity is not a product but a way of going about in the world as essential to life as breathing. Whatever, if anything, made here becomes a souvenir of that lived experience—an ARTifact of a creative life, both as material object and as tool.
