Artistic Innovations Visual Arts Community Center LLC was established in 2002, drumming was added in 2005, Creative Café classes began in 2009, the Creative Rhythms series launched in 2018, facilitator training began in 2019, and Liverpool Art Center moved to its current studio space in January 2021.
Programs for hire have been offered across the East Coast, both virtual and in-person, in partnership with alternative schools, mental healthcare centers and intensive outreach programs, hospitals and staff self care events, college student self care events, and recovery from substance use disorder programs. The studio also hosts monthly drumming for wellness and community building and offers community drum circles. Testimonials from participants describe the space as calming, the atmosphere as relaxed and welcoming, and the staff as helpful and guiding during painting classes and group events.
