This Community Has Always Built What It Needs.
For years, people across Kennett Square have shared the same idea: What if this town had a permanent home for the arts?
​
A place for live music, theater, comedy, dance, education, and gathering.
​
A place rooted in the spirit of this community — welcoming, independent, creative, and deeply connected.
Two Stages. One Home.
Endless Possibilities.
The Hub for Arts & Culture
-
a nonprofit performing arts center being built at 600 S. Broad Street.
-
A renovated, purpose-built space featuring a 250-seat main stage and a 100-seat black box theater — designed to welcome performers, audiences, and artists of every kind.
-
Live music. Theater. Dance. Improv. Education. Community gatherings.
-
The full, rich spectrum of what live performance can be.
Three Founding Arts Partners
Kennett Amateur
Theatrical Society
Bringing live theater to this community for over 25 years.
The Kennett Flash
Beloved independent music venue and cultural anchor for over 10 years.
William Lyster May Foundation
Grantor of funds to young arts leaders for over 25 years.
And at the center of it all are three founding arts partners who have been building community and cultural life for decades. The Hub gives these community stalwarts — and every artist and arts organization that follows — a permanent, professional home to grow, perform, and thrive.
