An “Arts Center” for Suffield?

The Suffield Arts Council has taken on the responsibility of getting an Arts Center started in Suffield.  Our immediate plan for the new Suffield Art Center initiative is to offer courses of interest to residents of Suffield and surrounding communities.   Once we have our courses built up, we will look into the possibility of a permanent home for the Center, one that would be centrally located, privately operated and open to the public. 

Even though exhibition and gallery space would be part of a future facility, the Art Center would be more of an educational center than a museum.  Classes and programs would encompass several disciplines in the visual, literary and performing arts including photography, jewelry making, crafts, painting, pottery, sculpture, creative writing, music lessons and more.  Classes and programs would be designed for both children and adults.  Until a permanent facility could be arranged, classes would be held at various venues throughout town.  The Suffield Arts Center would be designed for residents and visitors alike to express themselves and share their creativity, meet their neighbors and experience the wonderful talents of the artistic community.
