Mission GoggleWorks Center for the Arts exists to nurture the arts, foster creativity, promote education, and enrich the community. Vision Our vision is to become a beacon of creative culture in downtown Reading, PA which enriches the quality of life for both residents and visitors through diverse, inclusive, and relevant artistic experiences. Philosophy GoggleWorks Center for the Arts is a place to develop skills, ask questions, experiment freely, and investigate the human spirit. Here we create a dialogue between the established and the experimental, contemporary and traditional. Through exceptional arts education and engaging community programming we inspire people to expand the boundaries of art making, personal growth, and appreciation for material culture.
