Hudson
Guild, a community center in Chelsea which opened in 1895, provides a
wide range of services to people of all ages. The Guild’s Arts programs
have proven successful in helping to build a stronger community by
bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to explore their
mutual interest in the arts.
Hudson Guild Gallery, which opened
in 1948, offers different ways for participants to explore the visual
arts, especially viewers from underserved populations—including those
living in the public housing developments in which the Guild is
located, as well as people who participate in the Guild’s mental
health, youth and senior programs.
Exhibits of work by
professionally trained artists expose viewers to an eclectic range of
styles, forms and themes. Guided tours throughout the year serve to
educate viewers of all ages about contemporary visual art, fostering
dialogue about the variety of ways in which artists express their
ideas. Over 2000 people visit the Guild’s two gallery spaces every year.
