The Workroom

Conceived as a space for the exploration and creation of new work as well as a performance and exhibition venue, A.P.E.'s 3,800 square-foot WORKROOM accommodates a wide array of projects, supporting the current and next-generation of artists. Housed within the Northampton Community Arts Trust's local arts complex, 33 HAWLEY, The Workroom offers the community a space of unique size and flexibility in which to experience and encounter creative work. As one of three building partner arts organizations at 33 Hawley, A.P.E. stewards the Workroom guided by its mission to support affordable spaces for inquiry and creativity.
