We are a non-profit committed to preserving
creative space in Northampton, MA.
Mission
Our mission is to protect and ensure the long-term vitality of Northampton through the acquisition and preservation of space for creative work — affordable and accessible — in the heart of the community.
Vision
We envision a downtown Northampton with art at its center. Adapted from the model of land trusts, The Arts Trust acquires arts spaces and ensures their ongoing dedication to creative work.
33 Hawley
Our first project is 33 Hawley Street, a 25,000 square foot building with a range of versatile, creative spaces. In service of our mission, we have entered into long term leases with three arts organizations who make 33 Hawley their home.
