Coming soon to Sleepy Hollow...  

THE HOLLOW: Public Square

A Cultural Commons for the Rivertowns

An initiative dedicated to arts, gathering, and creativity.

Reimagining the former VFW building at 228 N. Washington St, Sleepy Hollow for connection and community.

Our Vision

The Hollow is envisioned as a community cultural center and public square — a flexible, open, welcoming space dedicated to:

• arts and cultural programming

• public gathering

• educational workshops

• creative collaboration

• interdisciplinary events

• local maker and vendor markets

• co-working and creative incubation

• performances and civic dialogue

• accessible community connection

The goal is not simply to create a venue, but to cultivate an enduring community institution. 

Core Programming:

• Live music and performances curated by our Programming Operator "Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective"

• Along with a variety of classes and workshops for all ages

• Community meetings, co-working opportunities

• Vibrant indoor flea market on Saturdays, the anchor event with artisans and vintage

• Weekly "Public Assembly" (secular gathering on Sunday mornings)

In order to begin, we need your support!

The Hollow is currently seeking:

• founding and sustaining members

• hospitality operator(s) for wine/beer/coffee

• arts collaborators

• institutional allies

• flea market vendors 

This is an opportunity to help shape a lasting cultural institution during its earliest formation. First, we need to buy the building, no easy feat. We need your support to do so. Please consider joining today at any level.

The Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective, a local 501c3 and anticipated Programming Partner, has offered to serve as our fiscal sponsor to help us begin fundraising toward these goals. Any funds you donate for this cause to their organization will be reserved in "The Hollow" fund just for this.
