The Bloom Collaborative (Previously Center City Arts) is a program of Stairways Behavioral Health that provides a unique and pressure-free arts experience open to those who have recovered, or are recovering, from a mental illness and those who assist them in that journey. Beyond this, our clients believe ‘in the healing and transformative power of creative expression and integrative wellness – not only for those who may be experiencing difficulty, but for all who seek self-exploration and personal growth’.  In late 2011, Stairways Behavioral Health (SBH) engaged us to assist with the preparation of a Strategic Master Plan for the Center City Arts campus located on the former Rose Koehler Curtze estate in the central city neighborhood of Erie, Pennsylvania USA.
