Join us in building an inclusive creative community in North Adams, at a our new home at 165 E. Main Street!
Common Folk is the result of deep community investment — and we’re so excited to be able to finally offer all of our shared resources under one roof.
We open our doors to the public in August 2025, and have the opportunity to purchase the building at the end of our lease in April 2026.
It’s a big dream, but you helped us make it happen when we purchased 12 Holden Street in 2022 with $27,000 in community donations. We outgrew our tiny storefront, and are set on building our forever home.
Common Folk is proof that when people come together, amazing things can happen. Any amount helps moves us closer to our $50,000 goal, and each singular donation only highlights the breadth of our community support.
With your support, we can ensure affordable and accessible creative space for all for years to come.
MAKE A DONATION
The collective is currently fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, allowing you to make tax deductible donations, either one-time or though a recurring monthly subscription.
“Since joining Common Folk, I have experienced so much growth in my forms of creative expression. The support and validation I have received from this community is immensely empowering and has helped me to form a healthier, more positive self-relationship.”
