Creative projects uplifting artists, storytellers, and community voices

Jubilee Community Center invests in the people, stories, and cultural traditions that make Montgomery unique.

Through programs, partnerships, and artist-led projects, we create space for neighbors to learn, share, create, and connect.

Programs are hosted at The Sanctuary and throughout Montgomery in collaboration with community partners.
