Waterville Creates (WC) is a comprehensive resource for residents and visitors looking to explore and enjoy the arts in Waterville. As an inclusive collaborator, promoter, and advocate for artistic expression, WC connects artists, community, and arts and cultural institutions to make the arts accessible to individuals of all ages and artistic abilities. 

We believe that the arts have power—the power to strengthen community bonds, the power to drive a robust local economy, and the power to enrich lives through creative expression. We believe art and culture are vital to a vibrant community and a prosperous city—the future we want for Waterville.

We know that Waterville residents see the arts as integral to their lives and to a thriving community. They want to have fun, be entertained, and practice creative expression in their own community. We believe the arts are an important part of what makes Waterville a desirable place to live, work, and play.

Composed of a dedicated and creative staff with backgrounds and expertise spanning many disciplines, Waterville Creates has a solid foundation in film through the Maine Film Center; theatre and the performing arts through the Waterville Opera House; visual arts through Ticonic Gallery + Studios (formerly Common Street Arts); and our collaboration with the Colby College Museum of Art; and literary arts and creative expression through our close relationship with the Waterville Public Library. Working as a cohesive unit, we will achieve our collective goal of making Waterville a destination and a thriving creative hub.
