Building on nearly 20 years of volunteer-led revitalization efforts, the expansion of the self-sustaining Uniontown Creativity Center and associated public art installations will improve the connection to the rural town’s historic business center, increase the integration of creativity in the town’s fabric and solidify the identity of Uniontown as a center of creativity.

The ArtPlace grant helped to fund a much-needed addition to the Artisans at the Dahmen Barn facility, a regional creativity center.
