is a cultural and creative complex fostering the intersection of contemporary art, wellness, and community impact.

We are driven by the belief that culture shifts consciousness. Culture provides a communal context to reexamine and ultimately better ourselves, our purpose, and our communities.

Our approach is holistic and inclusive. Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we offer contemporary art exhibitions and immersive experiences, classes and workshops in the healing arts, performances, dining, and spaces to wander and reflect – all in an effort to promote connection, belonging, curiosity, and growth.

Compound’s restaurant and bar , in partnership with Baryo, extends Compound’s mission of bringing together community through food and drink.
