Visit

Cannonball Arts is a community space rooted in mutual respect, artistic freedom, and collective care. We ask all visitors to join us in honoring the shared experience of art and expression by committing to the following:

• Treat everyone with dignity. We welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities. Harassment, discrimination, or threatening behavior of any kind has no place here.
• Respect the space and those around you. Speak with care, move mindfully, and be conscious of the energy you bring into communal areas.
