Part of our mission here at Harvest Café is to provide a community space for local artists. Beginning modestly in 2003, we hosted literature readings for Hudson High School’s Creative Writing class. Since then Harvest Café has expanded its offerings, including art exhibits and openings, poetry, and musical performances.  Please stop by the Café and support the local arts scene, from our music schedule to visual arts exhibits.
