Creative Hub Worcester: Art for Main South

Project Sponsor:  Creative Hub Worcester

Creative Hub Worcester’s mission is to provide affordable and accessible opportunities in the arts for all Worcester area community members, with a focus on at-risk and under served youth.  Creative Hub will be located in the former Boys and Girls Club located at 2 Ionic Avenue in Worcester.  The nonprofit organization will host multiple studio style spaces as well as dedicated spaces for children or classes being offered. Once renovations are complete, Creative Hub hopes to utilize the insight and partnership of surrounding art organizations in order to provide art for all those interested.
