Cambridge’s inclusive hub for creative exploration.

A group of happy and curious individuals. Some are working in science, others are dancing and playing instruments.

About

The Foundry addresses the problems of financial and spacial inequities affecting artists and other makers by providing access to specialized space and equipment for hands-on creation. Offering maker spaces, multi-purpose rooms, a dance studio, art studio, performance space, and demonstration kitchen, The Foundry brings STEM and the Arts under one roof for the Cambridge community. The building is operated by The Foundry Consortium, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
