"I had the tremendous fortune of not only growing up with Alan and Pat Hawkridge as my parents, but as my artistic and creative guides. They lead with empathy and compassionate in every aspect of their lives and infuse that energy and mindset into every aspect of their work. They have always been more invested in uplifting the potential of those around them then taking up that space themselves. While this center is rooted in our family name, I'm honored to be a part of extending my parents legacy out into our community. A legacy of creating space that allows everyone involved room to breathe, heal, and discover their own voice. I'm incredibly grateful to be able to forge new paths as we have always done - as individuals and as a collective." - Kira Hawkridge, Founding Artistic Director of OUT LOUD Theatre
"The Hawkridge Center for the Arts will be a place in which we continue to do our individual and collective work. A space that welcomes all. A space that remains safe, nurturing and creative. It is simply a dream come true."
"THE HAWKRIDGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS is the culmination of a family's life work. Each of us have spent our professional lives working to create innovative, authentic, powerful and thoughtful Art. We have made it a priority to open our space to anyone who wants to join us. In community, we have created a working environment built on respect, love and joy. The Hawkridge Center for the Arts will be a place in which we continue to do our individual and collective work. A space that welcomes all. A space that remains safe, nurturing and creative. It is simply a dream come true." - Pat Hawkridge, Founding Artistic Director of LaVoce: Theatre That Speaks
"As a family we are so excited to be opening THE HAWKRIDGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS. The studio space at The Mills complex at the apex of North Main Street and Pawtucket Avenue will allow us to create and expand our various artistic projects we have ready to go into production. As well as performances and classes, I am happy to announce that the studio will also have space to create the ALBERT T. HAWKRIDGE ART GALLERY, named after my dear dad who had the spirit and talent of an artist but spent his life working for British Rail as a railway signalman. As well as a space to show my own paintings, we intend to welcome and support and showcase local artists. Along with OUT LOUD and LaVoce: Theatre That Speaks, we plan to offer various classes in the theatre arts. Please plan to join us in a supportive and creative environment as we together build THE HAWKRIDGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS." - Alan Hawkridge, Founder of the Albert T. Hawkridge Art Gallery
