Celtic-Junct-Arts---Conceptual-Design-1200full

Thank you for helping complete Phases 1 & 2 of CJAC’s Capital Campaign - now we are fundraising for Phase 3.

Together, we have made major strides in strengthening Celtic Junction Arts Center through sustainability, security, and environmental improvements - including solar installation and a transformed entrance and lobby.

Phase 3 is our next major step forward: expanding the building footprint, completing a three-floor lift for full accessibility, and creating a vibrant Irish pub and social gathering space where we can connect in community. With over 25% of funding raised, momentum is building as we continue shaping a welcoming home for Celtic arts and culture.
