CENA- Centro de Artes is a community collaborative project which intends to build a community arts campus in South Holyoke that offers arts-music-theater education programs and contemporary art exhibitions, providing services and resources for individual artists throughout Holyoke, and beyond.

CENA is where the community can create, see, support, and learn about different artistic disciplines and promises to enhance the South Holyoke neighborhood, assist in the revitalization of Main Street Holyoke, and bring resources to the area.   This space serves as an anchor to a network of programming and educational opportunities related to cooperative economic practices and micro-entrepreneurship development in conjunction with other community institutions, programs and institutions of higher learning.
