Established back in 1923, Jerome Art Vortex finds its home in the historic Jerome, AZ. The center, originally part of the Old Jerome High School, served as a pillar of education for the bustling mining community that once thrived with over 10,000 residents. From 1924 to 1951, the school operated as an educational hub before closing its doors in 1960, only to reopen shortly after as Mingus Union High School, seeing its final graduating class in 1975.
Over the years, a wave of creativity swept through Jerome in the 1970s and 1980s, drawing in a myriad of artistic souls. This influx transformed the school's premises into a haven for local artists, musicians, and professionals seeking inspiration within its uniquely creative environment and expansive rooms. Today, this historic site stands as a vibrant hub where a diverse community of local creatives and professionals come together, breathing new life into the once-hallowed halls of the Old Jerome High School.
