Build The Creative Branch with Sarah & Fardeen!

Donation protected
Help us build The Creative Branch at 9 Mill St!

Sarah Adam and Fardeen Chowdhury are local creatives seeking to expand the art scene in downtown Greenfield, Massachusetts. And we can’t do it without you!
A mutual friend is passing the torch and offering his former creative space for us, and it’s perfect. There’s opportunities for workshops, co-working studio spots, gallery shows, window displays, as well as a large performance space for music, dance, and performing arts. There’s outdoor space with potential for gardens, sculpture, and small outdoor events.

As you can see, we’re not asking for help with our own private studio - we want this for our community. Greenfield is a hive of creative activity, with art groups including Artspace, Looky Here, The LAVA Center, Madhouse Multi-Arts, just to name a few. We hope to be part of this vibrant community of creatives, and we can’t do it without YOU!

Do you want to see more live art events in your neighborhood? Are you not from the area, but just love supporting art from afar? Are you looking to display your own creative endeavors, but not sure how to start?

Here’s the plan: We hope to raise $40k to provide a down payment to get the keys to the studio. From there, we plan to launch the new space with options for beginner creatives to have affordable ways to display art. You can dress up a window, or host a gallery show. No experience necessary, we can help! Fees will go towards keeping the lights on and keep the event calendar full.

Ideas for this space include (but are not limited to):
  • Pop-Up markets
  • Gallery exhibitions
  • Window displays
  • Workshops & classes
  • Art & craft supply swaps
  • Performances (music, dance, spoken word)
  • Studio recording

Location details:
  • 9 Mill Street, Greenfield MA 01301
  • Located at the intersection of Mill St, Bank Row and Route 5&10
  • Quick walk to the Greenfield Energy Park, Olver Transit Center, and the Hope St Parking Garage
  • One door over from Artspace!

Space details:
  • 1500 sq ft
  • Gallery room, 3 large windows facing street, white walls, gallery lighting
  • Performance space with closet, barn door side entrance
  • Storage/workshop room, bathroom, kitchenette/slop sink
  • Backyard with patio, firepit, and a side yard with potential for a community art garden

Help us make this a reality! We are ready to take the next step and be part of our already thriving artist community.
