About 401 Create

401 Create is a space that brings people together to share in laughter, friendship, and fun. Founded in 2021, it quickly became a place for all to share their unique talents in a comfortable atmosphere where each person’s personality is brought to life.

Our space has three areas: a stage/performing area, a kitchen for hands-on cooking and baking activities, and a space for making art, playing games, doing puzzles, etc.

One step inside the door of 401 Create and you will be greeted with a warm sense of belonging and drawn to the people who welcome you in. You’ll pause for a breath as your eyes catch the colors and uniqueness of the artwork. Your ears draw you close to the sounds of music or voices from the stage, and you’ll be intrigued by the variety of events that pull at your creative side.

There is no one “perfect fit” for 401 Create because everyone belongs here. We each bring something unique, and together, we create a community where everyone fits. Friendship will quickly draw you in, and before long, you’ll find that 401 Create and the people who share this space have found a place in your heart, just as you have found a place in theirs.
