Founded upon the idea that a cultural institution can be the civic heart of a community, BlackRock provides arts access for all in upper Montgomery County. When the pandemic brought to light the community’s basic needs, BlackRock opened its center to provide food and other necessities, serving over 1,100 households every week and expanding into what is now a new human services hub nearby. Since reopening its in-person arts programming, a diverse schedule of free and affordable festivals, live performances, exhibitions, workshops, artist talks, and community events annually welcomes 25,000 people. Community-based theater productions, youth summer camps, and an afterschool program bring more opportunities to the public. With a special focus on curating programs for its Hispanic, Black, and LGBTQ+ populations, BlackRock is a place where the arts build real community.
