As the salons of the Harlem Renaissance nurtured creatives in the 1930’s, The Clifton House carries that spirit forward in its workshops, public readings, and residencies in the 21st century.
A welcoming room can change the course of an artist’s life. Once home to Lucille Clifton and her family, The Clifton House is now a historic place where emerging poets, artists, thinkers, and people discovering their own voices can gather, learn, and create.
