If these walls could talk… They would tell a story of community! From wellness classes and community conversations, running into friends while doing laundry, to shared meals, celebrations, laughter, tears, and new beginnings… every gathering captured here tells a story of people choosing to show up for one another.

What makes The Aux special has never just been the building. It’s the people who fill it with love, purpose, creativity, and care every single day. And this is still only the beginning!

We invite you to show up for us as you have all year. Join us for our one year anniversary celebration on June 20, 2026 at 7p. Get your tickets now!
