Since it opened in the historic Nichols Block in November 2000, Studio Place Arts (SPA) in Barre has become an important resource for art making, learning, and exhibition. SPA reaches out to bring all members of the community into its facility to become creators of art through involvement in classes, workshops, lectures, and studio experiences, and to view art that is exhibited in galleries on all three floors. SPA is widely recognized as a friendly, accessible arts organization.

One of the great things about SPA is its willingness to conjure up a theme, see it through, and, more often than not, pull it off so well that one has to wonder if things weren’t preordained to fall into place. Their group shows are tight and thematic and include local and national artists.

SPA is physically accessible with a drop-off area and public entrance via the alley on the south side of the building. SPA is free and open to the public
