The campaign for Building The Center for ArtEsteem is a pivotal chapter of a love story. A love that’s rooted in the desire to heal, revive and regenerate to set forth a legacy to turn the tide in our culture. It is a love story that aims to develop critically aware and motivated individuals, and a love story that works to instill value in people to uplift our communities and our world.
This love story has no ending. It thrives with vision to educate, expand possibilities and inspire imagination and creativity.

Attitudinal Healing Connection—the Black-led, longtime nonprofit leader, and organizational entity behind this effort—is Building the Center for ArtEsteem. The purpose is to ensure their ongoing presence in support of the Oakland community, which they have served since 1989. The campaign and the building project will transform and beautify 5,000 square feet of land and property in West Oakland, taking place in two phases. During Phase 1 in 2022, AHC will assume site ownership, renovate an existing building, and move organizational operations to its new home at 3111 West Street. During Phase 2, AHC will construct a new studio, exhibition, and community event space at 3115 West Street. The total cost to complete this historic nonprofit capital development project, resulting in an invaluable community asset, is $4.3 million. Funds required to support the project will come from organizational reserves, a capital fundraising campaign, and creative financing. AHC welcomes generous contributions of all levels from foundations, businesses, government agencies, neighbors, and friends. Meaningful recognition opportunities are available. We welcome you to be part of the love that we’re building.
