The newly renovated and re-opened Youngstown Cultural Arts Center is the home for Mind Camp 2.0, and we couldn’t have found a more appropriate venue.  As part of the Delridge Neighborhood Development Association’s $30 million “three projects | one community” campaign, the once-abandoned historic building is now a bustling home to artists, educators, and community activists.  The center’s tenant partners—such as Twelfth Night Productions and the Nature Consortium— produce innovative arts, education and outreach programs that enrich the community.

Seattle Mind Camp will make extensive use of the first floor of the former Frank B. Cooper School, which includes a 150-seat theater, a movement studio, a media room, and a recording studio.  You can read more about the Center in the Seattle Times and The Stranger, or listen to KUOW’s Dave Beck interview Center Director Randy Engstrom here.
