Cedars Union

The Cedars Union is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit arts organization located in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, TX.[1] Their mission is to "provide resources including studios, tools, programs, and pro-bono services for creatives, foster a collaborative and supportive artist community, and advance the arts in North Texas." [2] The Bowdon Family Foundation bought the Boedeker Building, the eventual property for The Cedars Union, in 2014.[3]
