Apple Tree Arts

Founded in 1989 in Grafton, Massachusetts, Apple Tree Arts began as The Apple Tree, offering two early-childhood music classes for parents and toddlers taught by Donna Blanchard in a historic church on Grafton Common. It was built on the belief that music and the arts enrich and expand the human experience. Over time, that small beginning became a vibrant nonprofit community school for the arts serving people of all ages across south central Worcester County. Apple Tree Arts’ Great Hall is a bright, easy-to-host venue located in Grafton, MA in the heart of Central Massachusetts, inside the historic Town Hall building at One Grafton Common.
