Topia Arts Center

Topia Arts Center is an arts and education center in development committed to creating culture in a sustainable and socially responsible way. Planned as a center for quality music, theater, dance, circus arts, films, visual arts and community programming, Topia Arts Center is in the process of raising the funds to renovate the old vaudeville movie theater in the center of town. More than just a historic site and raw theater space, Topia, which means "landscapes" in Greek, hopes to provide fertile ground for convergent creative paths and act as an economic stimulus for this charming New England town poised for renaissance. The mission of Topia Arts Center is to develop an atmosphere of creativity where original and innovative performing arts and educational programs can thrive and be appreciated. By cultivating creative landscapes, Topia Arts Center improves the quality of life, opens hearts and minds, and allows audiences to participate as members of the creative process. As an incubator space, Topia Art Center connects international artists with local talent, fostering global perspectives while operating in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
