Workshop13 Cultural Arts & Learning Center

  • M

    MA

Institution/Business Type: Arts Service Organization

Workshop13 was founded in 2013 by two local artists who realized the positive impact a community arts center could have on a rural community. Since its inception, Workshop13 has grown to a three-building campus consisting of a fully equipped pottery studio, an art gallery, art studio spaces for classes, and an exquisite Grand Hall for Performing Arts and private events. We are an art innovator devoted to increasing the appreciation and accessibility of the arts, strengthening the creative life of our community through instruction, collaborations, and arts-based initiatives. Our reach extends beyond the confines of the three-building campus. We partner with local, regional, and statewide organizations to create accessible projects, events, and public art that strengthens our community bonds through shared art-making and creative placemaking. Self-discovery, community connection through the arts.
