The Birdhouse events
Category: Film and Free event
Since the early 1970’s many have known The Birdhouse to be a place where community activists, artists, and neighbors gather together to discuss ideas, share skill, and celebrate each other through artistic expression. Until 2002, the Birdhouse was fondly named “The Neighborhood Center”, a moniker given when the Birdhouse was orginally donated to 4th & Gill in the 1970’s by a realtor who longed to see the neighborhood have a gathering place.
