Create Something Here.

We believe creativity belongs at the center of community life.

Located in downtown Carlisle, the Carlisle Arts Learning Center (CALC) is a welcoming, community-centered arts organization where people of all ages and backgrounds learn, create, and connect.

Our studios and galleries are spaces for exploration, skill-building, and shared experience.

Rooted in Community.

Founded in 1992, CALC was established to bring high-quality arts education and exhibition opportunities to the greater Carlisle community. What began as a small arts initiative has grown into a dynamic regional arts hub, serving youth, adults, and professional artists.

Our current home is at 38 W. Pomfret Street, in Carlisle’s thriving arts district, in a 200 year old art deco fire house.
