Fall Kill Creative Works

Fall Kill Creative Works seeks to foster connection and celebrate community by sharing our stories and creating together. 

We are a community arts and education nonprofit 501(c)(3) located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Fall Kill Creative Works was founded in 2011 as the Mid-Hudson Heritage Center, with a goal to revitalize the Main Street corridor of the City of Poughkeepsie. We utilize multicultural craft education as a catalyst for connecting the diverse members of our local community and the mid-Hudson Valley region.
