Welcome to Lillie B’s House!
Lillie B’s House is an intergenerational, Black woman-led creative arts studio and sanctuary located in Cleveland’s historic Tremont district. Black owned and operated, we serve as an anchor and a beacon for creatives, thinkers, and seekers to rest, create, and connect with cultural memory.
We believe the creative process is a soul-led practice, and Lillie B’s House is the vessel that holds this practice sacred.
A Space to Become
Just like your granny’s living room, kept warm by memory, wisdom, and quiet care, this House welcomes all who seek refuge, resonance, and room to become.
We are a "spirit-infused" sanctuary grounded in contemplative wisdom, cultural memory, and ancestral care. We exist to address significant gaps in our community, offering an authentic, culturally-rooted alternative to mainstream arts and wellness organizations.
Our Guiding Beliefs
We are guided by ancestral, humanistic wisdom and artistic practices. We believe in:
Process Over Product: We value the creative journey, not just the finished work. Our goal is to provide a nurturing vessel for soul-led creative practice.
Whole-Person Integration: We support holistic growth—nurturing the body, mind, and spirit within a thriving community.
Sacred Continuity: We bridge the wisdom of the past with the needs of the present, empowering individuals to embrace their heritage and embark on journeys of self-discovery.
Intentionality: We move at a “take ya time wit it” pace, prioritizing community presence and culturally rooted companionship.
Time spent at LB’s is an investment in cultural equity, creative care, and the enduring legacy of Black and Brown artistic voices.
Room to Create, Rest, and Connect
We offer a distinct array of programs designed to support the creative, spiritual, and communal well-being of our community.

Seasonal gatherings centered on writing, ritual, reflection, and creativity.
Generative Residencies:
