We are just south of the entrance to the Courier Cafe.
As of May 5, 2012, the Community Center for the Arts will be located at 103 North Race Street, Urbana, IL. This is just north of the intersection of Race and Main Streets, on the west side of the road.
Our new studios are in the space above Corson Music Guitar Store. The street level entry is on Race st., around the corner from the music store, across the ally from the Courier Cafe.
See the green awning? That's Corson Music. We are just north of this intersection.
How else can I find this place?
This photo shows the intersection of Race & Main Streets if you are heading north on Race. Go just a bit and you’ll find us!
Drop-off:
If you want to drop off a student and then go to park, we recommend one of these 2 options:
- Approach from the north on Race Street. You can stop just in front of our door and let your student hop out. There is not usually much traffic, and there is a separate left-turn lane, so you will not be an obnoxious traffic blocker. We do not recommend letting students get out of the car if you are northbound on Race.
- Drop you student off on Race Street, in front of Corson’s Music Store, and have them walk down Race to our entrance.
Parking: metered parking is 25 cents per hour, or free after hours.
- Metered parking in the city lot just north of the Rose Bowl, on the east side of the road as you pass the Courier.
- Metered parking at the west end of our block on Main Street, on your right just past the fork in the road.
- Metered parking along Main Street in front of Corson’s or in one of the great gallery or bakery spaces just east of Race.
- Park in the city garage between Broadway and Race. It’s just a block away.
- After hours you can try Busey Bank’s parking lot.
Where you will find us before May 5:
202 South Broadway, at Elm and Broadway, on the second floor of the old Post Office in Urbana, IL.
Go in through the main entrance, then up the stairs behind the glass door on the left (north) side of the lobby.
