We build Authentic, Creative, Communities by integrating arts and culture.
Art, Culture and Community
What We Believe
The Alpha Genesis Community Development Corporation (AGCDC) believes in the power of Art, Culture, Education and Community…and in the synergy and collective creativity of that collaboration.
Together they form the building blocks that enable the “building of Blocks”— economically strengthened neighborhoods and communities, rich in culture, history, and purpose.
Neighborhoods that paint a picture highlighting our similarities and supporting the individual and collective narratives of our City.
Building Authentic, Creative Communities

Beacon of Hope is Installed Bricks are Still Available
Thank you for being a part of this HISTORIC fundraiser! While other cities are taking down monuments, we have installed a sculpture to honor our own Harriet Tubman. She stands on the grounds where enslaved were auctioned and where Harriet's niece was heroically rescued! Buy a Brick to help us continue this legacy.
