The Cultural Center

Amesbury’s Home of Arts + Culture

Located at 37 Millyard in Amesbury’s historic and picturesque Upper Millyard, the Amesbury Cultural Center is a city-owned, newly renovated gallery space on the ground floor of the Carriage Lofts.

The Cultural Center is a permanent home for arts and culture in Amesbury — a welcoming place to showcase local creatives, celebrate culture, + bring our community together.
