Hudson Creative Hub, built in 1880, was born from the initiative of dedicated citizens and supported by the generosity of various organizations. In 2022, the former St. Mary’s Church Hall was purchased by private individuals and transformed into a vibrant space where the public is invited to attend and participate in exhibitions, events, and both cultural and community activities. Today, the Hub stands as a true center for learning, sharing, and creativity, where everyone is welcome to explore, appreciate, and engage with the richness of Hudson’s creative community. Did you know? The Centre also houses a small library, lovingly maintained by a team of volunteers. Come experience the creativity that lives at the Hudson Creative Hub.
