The Courthouse Center for the Arts, located in the original Washington County Courthouse building in West Kingston, RI.  This glorious courthouse, built in 1893, is rich with history and stories and serves as an arts and music educational organization and community arts center.   The Courthouse Center for the Arts provides theater, music, art, and child development programs for children of all ages and abilities with inclusion programs for, what we call differently-abled children.

Year-round and summer camp programs offer children of all abilities the opportunity to learn music, art, and theater, thereby increasing cognitive learning skills, self-esteem, speaking abilities, and so many more positive, growth attributes are reached through these music programs.  We also host year-round, local, national, and internationally known musicians and events. Monthly art gallery openings are provided for local artists to showcase and sell their creations.  We have a full-service bar, plentiful parking on the premises and handicapped-accessible.

The Courthouse Center for the Arts is the perfect venue for weddings, corporate events and parties, fundraising events, networking and social events, and more.  We offer music from all genres, a traveling chorus to entertain you, summer day camps for local schools, senior day centers and groups, which include an art or music class, and a tour of our historic building.

Our Chimes Chorus and senior chorus groups provide entertainment at assisted living facilities, senior housing events, festivals, and more.
