Friends of the Holyoke Creative Arts Center Inc

HCAC provides over two dozen different types of classes to the public at a minimal cost—many in the lost arts and crafts of past generations, like chair caning and upholstery. Classes are taught by artisans, craftspeople, and experts. Beginning and experienced students learn side by side in a relaxed and friendly environment, receiving individual instruction in small classes of 8 to 12 students. While many of our students come from Holyoke, more than half come from the nearby communities of Chicopee, South Hadley, Westfield, West Springfield, and Springfield, with others from over 35 towns across the Pioneer Valley.

Join HCAC and you join a 90+ year legacy of fostering creativity and community in the Pioneer Valley.
