The Cultural Center is a place to celebrate the culture of Central Massachusetts and beyond. If you have participated in the Open Studio tours in this region or enjoyed a musical performance on a town common or in some intimate venue in our region, you know that the arts are a vibrant and fundamental part of that culture. The Center provides a new venue for learning, creating, exhibiting, performing, and enjoying art. It’s a world-class venue at that: a $15 million facility with two theaters, art galleries, visual art and graphics classrooms and studios, music classroom and recording studio, woodshop, and function hall. But more than all that it’s a place to connect—a meeting place between young people and adults, performers and audiences, artists and budding artists.
