ABOUT OUR SPACES
Creative spaces in the heart of a historic mill district in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Union Crossing is an eco-conscious redeveloped mill building located in the heart of Lawrence, MA with creative work spaces & commercial spaces on the first two floors, and over 60 units of affordable housing on upper levels. As a project of Lawrence CommunityWorks (LCW), a nonprofit community development organization committed to physical redevelopment and community empowerment in Lawrence, Union Crossing is part of the larger community change that we believe is possible through the arts and creative offerings.
Join our community of artists & entrepreneurs in our Island Street Studios (formerly Union Crossing Creative Work Spaces), or build out your business/organization in our ground floor commercial space. With our Arts Crawl: Lawrence events 3x/year, drawing people from across the Merrimack Valley, we offer opportunities for showcasing, exposure, and networking in our creative community!
