Arts in Common logo

Art in Common uses the power of art to bring communities together and foster connection. By focusing on what we have in common, instead of our differences, Art in Common promotes creativity, community, and compassion through the expressive arts. We will be sharing programs and exhibits with Art in Common.

Cornerstone Farm and Gardens logo

Coming this summer: 

Cornerstone Home & Gardens began as Cornerstone Garden at McKeon’s Farm during the summer of 2018 with a handful of team members and part-time therapists.

Cornerstone currently runs an educational gardening experience for community members including over 50 volunteers and donates freshly grown produce as part of the Ridgefield “Dirty Hands, Full Plates” initiative. In becoming part of The Meetinghouse, one house, many rooms, Cornerstone’s goal is to expand and create additional programs with year-round facilities and services for individuals with a variety of diagnoses. Cornerstone will take residence upon completion of the Barn’s construction.
