WE ARE
creating community
The Brownhoist is a for-profit social enterprise uniting creatives, civic leaders, and business owners to maximize the local multiplier effect by recirculating community dollars.
​
Plainly: The Brownhoist is a creative community of makers and doers dedicated to keeping money benefiting the residents and neighbors we serve in the St. Clair community of Cleveland, OH.
​
Built in 1880, The Brownhoist building has seen Cleveland grow up around it and remains an impressive hub for commerce and creativity in the heart of the mid-town community. With more than 34,000 square feet of space, this historic building is now home to artist studios, small businesses, creative collaborators, and event space open to all.
