Chez Fab Arts and Community Project is very excited to announce we have 2 new spaces in the works!

Chez Fab is excited for its most ambitius project yet. We are revitalizing a beautiful historical two story church built in 1930. It is located in the heart of Baton Rouge at 800 N. 19th St. The church has served as a touchstone of Baton Rouge's African American community.

Chez Fab hopes to honor this legacy by uniting Baton Rouge and beyond through 
Arts, Entertainment, Spirituality, and Hospitality.
This site will will host performances, movie screenings, classes, workshops,film shoots, meetings, as well as healing arts.

1439 Myrtle Walk in South Baton Rouge, a former roofing supply company will serve as art studios and performance space.
