About Us:

The Holyoke Creative Arts Center (Center) at the end of I-391 in Holyoke is an adult learning center dedicated to the instruction of home arts and crafts. We are located behind the South Street Plaza at 400 South Elm Street. Our main entrance and parking is at the rear of the plaza.

The Center promotes traditional values such as individual creativity, skill development and self-reliance through classroom instruction of many lost arts and crafts of past generations. As an invaluable resource and teaching facility for over 90 years, the Center provides a variety of unique educational programs and services to the entire Pioneer Valley community.
