About the organization
GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, located in Reading, Pennsylvania, is a nonprofit arts center housed in a former goggle factory. Since its founding in 2005, it has transformed a derelict industrial site into a vibrant hub for artistic production, exhibition, and education. Its mission is to nurture the arts, foster creativity, and build community through accessible programming that includes studio spaces, galleries, workshops, and artist residencies. The center emphasizes hands-on making and public engagement, offering a range of facilities for ceramics, glass, wood, metal, photography, and more.
