If you’ve never been to the Clifton Cultural Arts Center before, you’re in for a serious treat.
The CCAC occupies the old Clifton School, which was built in 1906 in the Beaux-Arts style. The center hosts art exhibits, cultural festivals and a plethora of regular classes ranging from tai chi to writing to felting.
Crafty Supermarket will be on the first floor of the CCAC, where our 50 craft vendors, DJ and food vendors will be rocking out all day on April 17. (That’s the main entrance to the right, which is on McAlpin Avenue, facing the Fairview German School.)
The CCAC is on the corner of Clifton and McAlpin avenues in the Gaslight District. Check out the CCAC site for detailed directions. There’s free parking directly behind the center, and plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.
The nearest bus stops are about a half-mile from the CCAC. Take the 17, 18, 19 or 39 bus to Ludlow Avenue at Telford, or take the 78 bus to Vine Street at Forest. Plan your trip at Go Metro.
