About CultureHouse Union Square
The Union Square neighborhood has long sought a community center to rebuild social connections. As the neighborhood continues to grow and undergo changes, the need for a community center has become even more pressing. A space like the Union Square community is imagining, however, requires a lot of time and investment. To test out what the space could look like on a faster and more affordable scale, CultureHouse has opened a pilot pop-up community center in Union Square. This free-to-enter intergenerational pop-up is a public space pilot, a living room for the community, a resource center, and an arts, culture, and business incubator.
About CultureHouse
CultureHouse improves livability in local communities by transforming unused spaces into vibrant social infrastructure. We work closely with communities to determine their needs and wants, and then co-design pop-up community spaces that address their challenges.
