In 2017 Gordon Thorne stated: "Hawley Street is a place for creating, for generating conversation and stories about the value of creative space, and for accumulating research and data to support other communities and individuals involved in similar efforts.

This distinctive, centrally located, energy-efficient building is a way of making concrete the importance we place on the preservation of creative space in community, and communicating ideas about these issues. The arts organizations and the diverse art forms in the building offer varied perspectives, serving as tributaries of the same river."

The WorkroomConceived as a space for the exploration and creation of new work as well as a performance and exhibition venue, A.P.E.'s 3,800 square-foot WORKROOM accommodates a wide array of projects, supporting the current and next-generation of artists. Housed within the Northampton Community Arts Trust's local arts complex, 33 HAWLEY, The Workroom offers the community a space of unique size and flexibility in which to experience and encounter creative work. A.P.E. stewards the Workroom guided by its mission to support affordable spaces for inquiry and creativity.
