Meet our Artists, Crafters, and Makers

Of Course! While all studios are currently waitlisted we do encourage you to place your name on our waitlist. When doing so please indicate how long you are seeking to rent space for. 

Working in a venue space can carry unique, associated risks and exposures. To limit these risks, the Town of Harwich requires renters to carry general liability insurance with the Town of Harwich listed as an “additional insured” in the amount of $1,000,000.00. General Liability Insurance covers damage to locations and injury to bystanders. This coverage is available on an annual or short-term basis to fit your needs.

• Long-term studio renters at the Harwich Cultural Center shall display a current certificate of insurance in clear view upon entry into the studio space.
• All vendor-renters at the Seaside Marketplace at Saquatucket Marina are required to submit their Certificate of Insurance naming the Town of Harwich as an additional insured in the amount of $1,000,000.00 to culturalcenter@townofharwich.us 14 business days before occupation.
• Harwich Cultural Center event renters shall submit their Certificate of Insurance naming the Town of Harwich as an additional insured in the amount of $1,000,000.00 to culturalcenter@townofharwich.us 14 business days before their scheduled event or submit with their rental application and payment.
• The address for the Town of Harwich, to be listed on your certificate, is 732 Main St., Harwich, MA 02645.
