Truro Center for the Arts Campuses and Facilities
Castle Hill’s Main Campus, 10 Meetinghouse Road
Castle Hill’s “Main Campus” is the original home of Truro Center for the Arts. Tucked away in Truro, it is an unassuming hub of creativity and year-round arts community. All studio spaces have both heat and air conditioning for year-round comfort. We have plenty of parking for our students and visitors, and the ever inspiring Pamet River is just a short walk down the road!
The Tower is the Main Office at this campus.
The Barn hosts 2 studios used for painting, kids programs, mixed media, and sometimes writing classes. Also a fully equipped Dark Room with enlargers for film photography! *The dark room is located on the second floor, with only stair access at this time.
Ceramics Department, also in the Barn, features a wheel throwing studio, hand building studio, glazing studio, electric kiln, gas kiln, raku kiln. *The hand building studio is located on the second floor, with only stair access at this time.
The Gallery showcases the work of visiting faculty members throughout the summer, members of our community, and Members of Castle Hill. During the summer, shows usually display for 2 weeks, with a reception to celebrate each one.
Building #12 has an upstairs apartment used for housing faculty and ceramic residents as well as hosting cooking classes. A more intimate studio space is downstairs as well as a Digital Arts room outfitted with a Smartboard.
Gallery X, a small outbuilding on this campus, hosts pop up shows throughout the summer from visiting artists and staff, as well as a library of art books.

Edgewood Farm, 3 Edgewood Way
Edgewood Farm is located on 7.5+ pristine and protected acres in Truro at the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and bounded by the Cape Cod National Seashore on the east and the Town of Truro Conservation Land on the south. It is a beautiful campus located right off of Route 6 where you can find a slice of peace and quiet, connect with the natural world, and unleash your creativity here on the Outer Cape!
The environmentally conscious Printmaking Studio is home to 3 presses that can produce intaglio, relief, monotype, silkscreen, bookmaking and lithography.
3D Studio and Welding Pad, is well equipped for woodworking and includes a CNC machine. The outdoor Welding Pad is a great space for not only welding, but other metalwork, papermaking, and sculpture.
The grounds of Edgewood is the home to a sculpture garden, that was installed as a celebration of Castle Hill’s 50th Anniversary, as well as an outdoor stage, “Sam’s Stage” and community garden that is open for the public to join. The large meadow is a great place to take in the view, or find some shade under the magnificent walnut tree, or American Elm tree that grow in the garden grove.
The Wood Kiln, a part of the Ceramics Department, is located at Edgewood Farm. This train kiln is fired multiple times throughout the year.
The Barn at Edgewood is a favorite place for visiting faculty as well as the Artists in Residence. A cozy living area and large dining room makes this space ideal for writing workshops.
The Main House has 5 bedrooms that are available to students throughout the summer, as well as the Artists in Residence. The Cottage is a stand alone building that is also available for student and visiting artist housing.
All three buildings in the upper courtyard, the Barn, Main House, and Cottage, have been fully renovated to historical standards to maintain the integrity of Edgewood Farm’s rich history.
