On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, the Firehouse Community Arts Center hosted a one-of-a-kind fundraising and storytelling event at the Sidewalk Film Center and Cinema in downtown Birmingham.

During the event, the Firehouse CAC team, board of directors, and students highlighted the lifelong impact of the organization, and cast a bold vision for the future.

Throughout the evening, attendees enjoyed short performances, films, and workshops as well as the chance to meet all the folks involved.  If you weren’t there to witness this one-of-a-kind experience, this three-part mini-documentary by Studio Moderne tells a powerful story about The Firehouse’s first year, and the bright future that’s ahead for our student community. 

We’re SO close to reaching our goal of $50,000 raised by December 31st!  Every dollar counts!  Click ‘donate,’ and join us as we look to build the Future of The Firehouse!
