Golden Belt Arts
Once the site of historic textile mills, the Golden Belts Arts campus is now a vibrant hub where people create, work, and live. Featuring over 327,000 square feet of commercial space, you’ll find a thriving arts community, modern offices, and spacious lofts. The town-square-style campus boasts the Golden Belt Warehouse Studios where world-class artists work and share their art and multiple galleries for art viewing as well.

Featuring a collective of artists’ studios, aspiring and established artists alike use the space to create, share, and sell their art.
