​
The Eclipse Center for Creative Community is a place for people of all ages to gather to connect to their creativity, strengthen the bonds of the community, support the arts and artists that bring beauty to our world and learn more about ourselves and our world through the arts.
​
Plan to join us for events, fun art classes, a variety of workshops and fine art classes. Our two Contemporary Art Galleries offer rotating shows featuring work from artists and artisans from our area and beyond.
Our 5000 square foot facility holds 2 classrooms, 8 private creative studio spaces to rent and 2 galleries, one on each level. Space is also available to rent to host classes, meetings, and events.
​
The studio spaces are available for artists and creatives on an annual basis. Resident artists will have the opportunity to show their work in the lower gallery, participate in on and off-site events, teach lessons in their studios, establish a web presence on our website and benefit from the marketing for the center.
