The Art Community of Danville:

“WE CREATE”

Felice McWilliams

As Danville morphs into a 21st-century city, popping up with new businesses in technology, food and entertainment, there is a buzz happening among our creative community.

Five round table talks have been held all over Danville, and it’s exciting!

Meeting at various places like, Smokestack Theatre Company, The Fashion Haus, DMFAH, North Theater, and SCHOOLFIELD Restaurant. They even had a wine tasting at the Fashion Haus that was amazing!

This region has a wealth of creatives who are ready to be a recognizable force in our city, being supportive of each other's endeavors, events and organizations.

Creatives are meeting, gathering, networking, organizing and discussing ways to reinvent a viable art culture and take ownership of it here in Danville.

Through this creative circle, there has been several “Art Lucks” , hosted by Kendall Ratliffe, Felice McWilliams and Sierra Jade at,

2 Witches. Creatives gathered with whatever projects they were working on, and came to create together

By working together, supporting each other's efforts, educating and creating safe art spaces of all kinds, this community of creatives have proposed to be one of the changes needed that will enhance economic development and be the link that joins art and culture with commerce in our beautiful River City.

“WE CREATE” has been formed to nurture current and future members of the creative community. We gather to be around like minded people, to draw from each other’s energy, encourage, inform, cheer, help, promote, and to be supportive of each other as individuals and organizations associated with the arts.

Meetings are held the 3rd Sunday of each month, with a new host and location.
