Art Thing / Co-lab:

What’s an Art Thing (Co-Lab/Art Hub)?

The Art Thing Collaborative, Inc. is working to create Art Hubs—accessible, welcoming spaces where people of all ages and abilities can go to explore, create, and connect through art.

Unlike traditional galleries or studios, these art hubs will be active spaces for making, sharing, and collaborating, designed to be welcoming for both artists and beginners alike. Think of them as like a “YMCA for the Arts", these spaces will provide studio access, artistic experiences, accessible programming, and vital resources to support creativity in the communities we serve.

Whether it’s a place to work on personal projects, join a community art initiative, or participate in a workshop, these hubs will be for everyone.

While we work toward building dedicated hubs, we also utilize public and community spaces—like libraries, schools, and cultural centers—to bring our Art Things to life in places that are already part of our shared daily lives.

At their core, Art Hubs are about more than just making art—they’re about community, connection, and supporting creative exploration, ensuring that art is something everyone can be part of, every day.

📍 Little Falls, NY will be the home of our first art hub!

We’re in the very early stages of developing our first Art Hub in Little Falls, NY, a space where community members can gather, create, and share in an open and inclusive environment.

This hub will be designed to:

  1. Be for everyone!

  2. Provide an open, accessible creative space for people of all ages and abilities.

  3. Offer hands-on workshops, collaborative exhibits, and interactive art experiences.

  4. Be a place for collaboration and connection through community-driven creativity.

As we continue building this project, we remain committed to making art things accessible, visible, and part of everybody’s everyday life by bringing creative opportunities to all kinds of community spaces.
