About
CX - CREATIVE SPACES was founded in 2021 as a branch of the Lilburn Local Art market, Citizen Exchange. The founder’s desire was to ensure that arts as an expression of community would find its way in Lilburn, Gwinnett County, and beyond. The board came together to further this vision and strengthen the community through arts by developing and providing programs that bring hope through art events and activities. Over the past two and a half years, we have been able to offer a couple Filipino cultural culinary events, a gourmet dinner experience, and six community theater performances. We are slowly growing through trials and errors as we bring creative ideas to life through CX - Creative Spaces. Join us, learn with us, and find ways to nurture and expand your own creativity through CX - Creative Spaces!
PURPOSE:
To be a place, a space, a journey, and a destination that seeks to explore where creativity and imagination are enlivening hearts, minds, and souls to embody communities who are oriented towards loving neighbors and BEING the good needed everywhere.
​​
OUR WHY:
We want to be an organization that is intentionally connecting people to HOPE through creativity, discovery, and exploration of culture in communities that bring people together for good.
In a broken world where people live in fear, in great need, and with uncertainty about the future, we will become a place of hope. It is a hope that points us to the future, that changes our outlook on the world, that alters our view of others, and that transforms our perspectives about all of life.We are governed by our non-profit Board of Directors.
Old Town Players
Old Town Players is a community theatre based in Lilburn with a goal of truly building and enriching community through the arts. Not only do we hope to delight audiences with our performances, but we strive to provide opportunities for seasoned artists as well as intrepid newcomers to explore their creativity and share in the joy of the collaboration art form that is the theatre. ​​

First Fridays are an opportunity for writers, poets, and musicians to try out their work with the community who gathers. It's open to anyone interested in sharing their artistic talents with a wider audience. Come with your work to share or just come and listen to other creative community members ready to share their talent. We start at 6:30 PM on the First Friday of every month at the Haven Bodega in Old Town, Lilburn. 95 Main Street​​.
Young Entrepreneurs Academy
We are launching our first Young Entrepreneurs Academy through a collaboration project between City of Lilburn and CX Creative Spaces. This program is designed to give participants a taste of entrepreneurship and what it takes to dream up a business, design a business and launch a business. We will match participants with a business member in their field of interest and they will be mentored by this business for four months. Registration fee for participants is $25. Businesses invest in the student and in the community to help us build and strengthen our local businesses through this academy for young creative entrepreneurs. Our program will launch in February and run through May. Fill out the form to apply and those accepted will be notified prior to the start date. There's limited space in the program, so register now!​​
A generous contribution will help us bring more events to our communities.
