CHAW was born! Conceived of and built by a collective of neighbors who knew the importance of community arts and wanted a dedicated space for creative development in their neighborhood, CHAW’s first classes were launched in 1972; 24 students enrolled and the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop made its debut. It has been a community anchor ever since.
