HCA Fall 2022: Educational Program Brochure

We believe the Arts are for individuals of all ages, cultures, and artistic abilities. We develop artistic skills, offer outstanding performances and art exhibitions, and enable visitors to experience art in all forms.

The HCA offers over 200 classes for youth, teens, and adults in the visual and performing arts. Every year over 2,000 students enjoy classes in fine art, dance, music, theater, film-making, photography, acting, and ceramics. In addition, students can take private music and art lessons with qualified instructors.

Among our innovative current programs:

• Visual arts instruction for children with autism and adults with Alzheimer’s and developmental disabilities

• Free Summer Sunset Jazz Series in our beautiful amphitheater, which is adjacent to three lovely areas of respite: our Shakespeare, Fairy and Healing Gardens

• Linkage with public school students and teachers, who use HCA as an educational resource in the arts and in leadership training activities

The Lotvin Family Gallery showcases a variety of exhibits, including juried exhibits, the HCA Members show, featured solo artist exhibits, and educational and community projects. Juried exhibits are curated by guest jurors who select pieces from submissions received during our open calls for art. The Delbridge Family Performance Center is home to a variety of music, dance and theatrical performances throughout the year.

Enter Stage Left Theater (ESL) is the resident theater of the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, producing up to 8 productions every year. Each season brings a wide-array of theater options to audiences looking for a great affordable theater experience.

We are visited by more than 15,000 patrons a year from over 340 cities and towns in the US and Canada. Created in 2011, HCA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community arts center, fosters and celebrates the creative spirit in everyone.
