HOPKINTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Art I Theater I Music I Dance I Ceramics
HCA has been miraculously finding positive ways to ease burden on children and community with limited socially distant art, theater and music camps and programs and free concerts heard throughout the land — even my own back yard. Unbelievable.
Joy Donohue
I just wanted to reach out and thank you for doing the virtual art camps. My son has been very resistant to all types of camps and organized activities. He does however LOVE his art program ... with Miss Judy. He goes on FaceTime and shows all of his family and friends all of the projects he has completed from the class.

HCA has changed the way I think of myself as an artist. The way I now believe in myself has given confidence to explore new ideas with unexpected textures and colors. Thank you, HCA. You have illuminated my way.

Words of praise for magician Chris’ magic boot camp: “It was incredibly fun”, in our child’s words. Arielle eagerly showcased her daily newly-learned tricks. She couldn’t wait to find out what new trucks Chris would teach each day. It’s the most fun camp she’s ever had. Thank you for offering his class!!!

It's like magic to our kids. HCA has provided opportunities for fun, self-expression, learning, making new friends and keeping the old.
Jen Lentz
I love coming to this art class. It has been a place where I can relax and take my mind off everything going on in my busy life. I have learned so much since September. I have grown and become more confident in my work. The HCA is truly a beautiful peaceful space. Thank you.
Shari Daly
I am so glad I found HCA! I love it here because it is about creating quality work.
Anika Gupta, age 10
I didn't have any artistic confidence, and was considering abandoning art. Now, after studying and volunteering for over a year, I am enrolled and preparing for art school. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this place, and to Kris and Sarah for being so supportive.
