Become a Central Brick Society Community Sponsor
Where all builders belong.
A new kind of place is opening on Central Avenue
Central Brick Society is a creative studio, social club, and skill-building lab for kids, families, and lifelong builders — opening this fall at 461 Central Avenue in the heart of downtown Highland Park. Think of it as a "third place" for builders young and old: a bright, welcoming space where they build, design, tinker, and connect with neighbors and friends. We're locally owned, community-rooted, and built on a simple belief: everyone deserves a place where they belong. As we prepare to open, we're inviting a small group of local businesses to help build this community from the ground up — and be recognized, permanently, as the neighbors who made it possible.
How families make us part of their week
Central Brick Society runs on memberships, which means families don't just visit once — they come back again and again. Members drop in after school and on weekends, and each visit, they choose where to build. For sponsors, that's the whole point: your name isn't seen once and forgotten — it's in front of local families, week after week, in a place they've chosen to make part of their routine.

Looking for something different?
