About:

We nurture creative exploration and artistic expression through classes and workshops in a variety of media for students of all ages and abilities.

We cultivate a professional studio atmosphere for working artists and artisans, showcasing the breadth and talent that exists in the area.

We gather the community for performances and private celebrations in our exquisitely restored Grand Hall at our namesake address at 13 Church Street in Ware, MA.
Classes are held at 13 Church Street as well as our ClayWorks pottery studios on Main Street, adjacent to our ArtWorks Gallery.

Our reach extends beyond the confines of the three-building campus. We partner with local, regional and statewide organizations to create accessible projects and public art that strengthens our community bonds through shared art making and creative placemaking.

Mission:

Workshop13 Cultural Arts and Learning Center is a rural non-profit arts innovator devoted to increasing the appreciation and accessibility of the arts, strengthening the creative life of our community through instruction, collaborations and arts-based initiatives.
