There is a simple “why” to everything we are doing right now at the Chocolate Church Arts Center: community togetherness. We live in a time when people are turning away from one another. Communal experiences, grounded in imagination, story, laughter, grief, and joy, bring us back together.
If you believe in our “why” and in our efforts over the past year, please become a Member of Chocolate Church. Ticket sales only cover 30% of our expenses.
With this in mind, we’re raising $50,000 to support three important initiatives:
1. Music Education (Scholarships and instruments)
2. The Annex Renovation Project (New seating)
3. The Art Lab (Expanded programming)
We recently received a generous $50,000 contribution that we will only receive if we match it by July 1. Funds will support our Music Education Program, the Art Lab, and Annex renovations. Every bit helps get us toward to our match. Please become a Member today and your gift will be doubled!
We're Taking A Break!
The Chocolate Church is taking a short summer pause to rest, recharge, and get inspired for an incredible season ahead! While our stages may be quiet for a bit, we’ll be buzzing behind the scenes—refreshing our spaces, planning exciting events, and dreaming up new ways to bring our community together through music, art, and creativity.
We’ll be back in action on July 7th, energized and ready to share even more unforgettable experiences with you. Until then, thank you for being part of our vibrant arts family—we can’t wait to see you soon!

Summer Music Workshop
With Freddy Larrosa
Freddy Larrosa is an Ecuadorian singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. His music is deeply inspired by South American folklore and iconic Latin American troubadours such as Silvio Rodríguez and Facundo Cabral, shaping his distinctive sound. At 19, Larrosa embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, traveling to Uruguay, his father’s homeland. There, he immersed himself in the rich traditions of Candombe, exploring its African roots, Murga, and drumming, which profoundly influenced his musical style.
