I have been several times. Today there were no artists who were open and there were no exhibits to see. This is why I'm giving 4 stars. I am just saying to go another time. Saturdays are often great days to see artists with open doors (you can watch them make art and learn about their craft). Normally there are cool exhibits, I just went at a bad time. Cool place, maybe just call ahead to see what's available (there was almost nothing to see today, 9/22). Always free to go and cool stuff on display. It's like a zoo with artists instead of animals

The Center is a quite small, but provides a very important service to the arts and the artists it supports.There were 2 galleries open when I went. There were 2 artists in residence in their workspaces.I wish it had not been so hot, I would have spent more time looking through the garden outside that provides materials for some of the artists' works.

We had the best time. The first Saturday of each month, there is a free workshop. This past Saturday was bracelets. First Saturday in March is suncatchers. This is a fun, entertaining place.

HCCC founded in 2001 but discovered by us in 2023 thanks to Yelp is a non profit craft and art center that was established to help the community learn about crafts made with glass, wood , textiles , clay and other materials.We went for their bead making bracelet event yesterday that was supported by their funding.It was a beautiful day and surprisingly fun.The volunteers were plentiful and the wait for beads/ charms on the tables was short lived .After making our bracelets ( made 1 for you mom), we went to the residency studios to meet a few of the artists. Thank you to Miles Lawton and Yeonsoo Kim for the art discussion on your incredible crafts.They had full rooms set up for their craft and the artists were articulate and knowledgeable about their craftmaking in wood textures and pottery.We learned about the importance of sustainability when using exotic woods from Africa so that trees were not completely cut down so they will continue to produce . Apparently there is a big market for beautiful exotic wood specialty products. Absolutely beautiful craftmanship!!The 1st Saturday of the month HCCC offers classes and we will certainly return.Free parking.Free admission. Donations welcome.

Simply stunning. A must visit place. They also offer monthly kid friendly art crafts from 11-3pm on Saturday. Art kits in front are also pretty fabulous. They come with video instructions, easy enough for kids to follow through.

Small museum that is totally FREE to visit. There are two small galleries. I enjoyed both of their current exhibits (a quilting show and works by an environmental artist with an apocalyptic tone). What makes this museum stand out are the artist residency spaces. You can walk by and peek into the studios to see what the artists are currently working on. They also do exhibitions showcasing the resident artists' works. The artists change annually. I applaud the museum for this program -- providing artists with opportunities and exposure is a really amazing endeavor. Tiny gift shop area with some interesting/unique selections. Fairly large parking area (in the back). Before you leave, check out the adjacent garden (available to their resident artists that use natural materials). It's a quick stop so I highly recommend combining it with the Lawndale Art Center (also free) next door. They have their own lot but you can also walk over.

Very nice space. I loved that you could see the artists work. The quilt exhibit was also very nice. Very friendly staff. If you go, you should park in the back of the building (free parking). Highly recommended!

It's cool. You get to know the artists, their work and technics. There are some activities in their program for kids as well.

Unique little place for art. They have a gallery that rotates with different art. Craft classes and residency studios with local artists that you can meet. They also have a cute little garden next to the parking lot. Did I mention it’s free?! Great place to introduce others to art.

Absolutely love this center! The art is fun to look at and there's an adorable shop with great jewelry. The best part are the activities they offer. I just went to a clay making class that was so much fun.

The lady who was working the line for car pool this week for the kids crafts was super rude and unfriendly. Would not want my kids to be around her, no thank you or polite hello.
