Creative Action reaches 20,000 Austin kids yearly with its arts-based self-esteem and anti-bullying education. Their new facility, on an odd gavel-shaped lot in the Meredith Family Interests new “Social Profit Village,” enacts a pledge to “meet a critical community need for affordable arts enrichment, and… activate neighborhood engagement.” The building has Program area on level 1; Level 2 houses administration offices and staging support for arts teachers who lead the many Creative Action programs in public schools and elsewhere throughout the City.
The building experience is organized through a structural, fully grouted double-wythe brick wall, defining both the entrance portal and “spine.” The wall is not treated as a façade in this project, but rather a central part of the experience; a threshold between spaces that continually impresses the group’s values of care and core strength for the children and community who learn in the building.
The project is intentionally playful but not childish – an engaging place that invites exploration while embodying a pressing mission.
