Mission
The Plainfield Community Center serves as a bridge to further the relationship between the Plainfield Co-op, its members, and the larger community. It provides a community space and encourages diverse activities and events.
About The Community Center
Located directly above the Co-op is the Plainfield Community Center, with openings for classes/workshops and events, public and private. The large, well-lit room upstairs doubles as an art gallery space and, while lacking in handicap access, can accommodate most small functions. We provide wall mirrors, chairs, and a few tables, in addition to the odd podium or puppet theatre. Scheduled users should feel free to make use of the Rinnai heater, if the weather demands it, and a sink is also immediately available. There is also a baby grand piano for (gentle) public use and you are welcome to play when the space is unoccupied.
