A thriving community resource and a standing tribute to the remarkable volunteer spirit of the people of Spencer.

THE SPENCER-PENN CENTRE is a hub of the community’s civic and social life.

The antropologist Margaret Mead once said, 

 

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world.

Overstatement? Perhaps. But the Spencer-Penn Centre is a fine example that they can certainly change a little piece of it.

Historical preservation is often one of the pieces Historical preservation is often one of the pieces of our mission people don't hear as much about, but its importance drives every moment at the Centre. Today, we received one of the uniforms from Spencer-Penn High School's baseball team. The high school split from Spencer-Penn after the Class of 1952 graduated. We are so excited to add this to our collection and preserve it for generations to come.

Unleash your child's creativity this summer with o Unleash your child's creativity this summer with our vibrant Street Art Class for Kids! Designed for young artists ages 7–12, this exciting program introduces children to the colorful world of street art in a fun, safe, and engaging environment.

Under the guidance of experienced local artists, kids will explore a variety of techniques, including spray painting (with kid-safe paints), stenciling, chalk art, and mural design. They'll learn about the history and culture of street art, develop their own artistic voice, and collaborate on a large-scale community mural.

Classes are held outdoors to capture the spirit of true street art, and all materials are provided. Whether your child is a budding Banksy or just loves to doodle, this class is the perfect way to channel their energy into bold, beautiful creations.
