Case for Investment - Callanwolde Fine Arts Center 2023

Growing to Serve All

Initiative I – Community Engagement

Supporting underserved communities is an important part of Callanwolde ’ s mission . Expansion and renovation efforts will have a direct , positive impact on Callanwolde ’ s ability to grow Community Engagement programs . The 12 - acre campus , situated in the heart of Atlanta , is the perfect sanctuary to inspire inclusion , belonging , creativity , and rehabilitation . Title I assistance , the largest federal education block grant program , is dedicated to closing the achievement gap for students living in poverty . Callanwolde , in partnership with the DeKalb County School System , has established proven programming for students who lack arts education . By 2027 , Callanwolde endeavors to significantly increase programming for students who qualify for Title I programs , and double capacity for veteran ’ s classes — those with PTSD and those transitioning out of homelessness . Callanwolde will be able to expand their partnership with CaringWorks Hope House , a residential center supporting adults who have experienced homelessness and substance abuse , by providing free art classes and access to live - music performances for individuals in their program . Accommodating new programming for low - income seniors is also an area of focus , along with increasing the number of art workshops onsite at Callanwolde for Title I students , and the number of Title III students served .
