Bahdeebahdu by North American Creative Canvas starts with a blank slate for those who want a memorable and unique experience. At nearly 120 feet deep and 38 feet wide, 1522-4 North American can safely handle 140 people (80 people seated) at one time. The space runs street-to-street (N. American/Bodine), both with door and garage access for large installations, expansive entertainment and catering needs, and several 2-ton winches for hanging concepts. The space has been outfitted with 1 gigabit Wi-Fi throughout, wired for centralized sound controlled by any device, and adjustable lighting levels for any mood or theme.  

Day-to-day, the space is set up as a lounge for private, charitable and corporate gatherings and populated with local art, most notably original lighting works by Warren Muller. The most common bookings include weddings, engagement parties, milestone birthdays and corporate events. However, the space has been used to host dinner clubs, art shows, pop-up galleries, community events, and brainstorming off-sites. 

You’ll find several natural zones in the building that are ideal for multiple set ups and can be divided by drapes for reveals and staging.  NACC has a list of preferred caterers that are familiar with the space and have a long history of delivering on a range of experiences.  We encourage you to schedule time by appointment to see for yourself.
