STUDIO4

Performance Facility

STUDIO4 is a multidisciplinary arts center and event space deeply rooted in its community. Home to The School For Contemporary Dance & Thought, Pollinate, Northeast American School of Ballet, and a number of affiliate art programs, STUDIO4 supports local artist research and production, and aims to serve as a hub for diverse artistic communities throughout the Pioneer Valley. ​The space is located on the fourth floor of the historic Masonic Block building on Main Street in Northampton, Massachusetts. Built in 1898, its central section served as the law office of Calvin Coolidge until 1918. During the city's arts boom in the 1970s, the space became an incubator to an array of artists in music, theater, and dance. In 1986, the space became home of the Northeast American School of Dance, which continues to hold classes in the studio.
