A work of heART.

Built in 2010, the Clubhouse is a living artwork—one held by its neighborhood and sustained through generations of use. It is not a container for art, but a work in progress itself.

​

To the wider world—and largely unbeknownst to the children who pass through its doors—ARTifact has quietly functioned as a creative muse to iconic global brands, earning countless awards, informing academic scholarship, launching new companies, and producing ideas that, in many cases, predated work later celebrated by internationally recognized artists.

Yet inside these walls, ARTifact is not treated as something precious or untouchable. It is simply and profoundly loved—with all our heART—for what it is: a lived space where egos are left at the door and art is allowed to coexist with daily life, in real time.

​

Great projects are made here. But they are not the point. Creativity, at ARTifact, is not a product to be extracted or perfected; it is a way of moving through the world-- practiced, lived, and shared over a lifetime.

​

Whatever, if anything, is made here becomes a cherished souvenir of that lived practice: an ARTifact of a creative life-- both a material object and a tool for becoming.
