Location and Directions

My Community Guitar classes, clinics and most special events meet at The Wildlife Sanctuary, which is room 349 in the Arts and Industry Building (221 Pine St.) in Florence. In case you are wondering, we are the wildlife. Here's how to get there...

From Highway 91 going North:

Exit in Northampton at exit 19 (Rt. 9). Turn left onto Rt. 9 - west towards Northampton. Drive through the center of Northampton and stay on Rt. 9 west approximately 3 miles to Florence Center.

Turn left on North Maple St. Turn right on Pine St. Look for the big white building on the right at 221 Pine St. (The Arts and Industry Building).

You can park in front of the building if there are free spaces, or in the parking lot just past the building on the right. Or...enter the overflow parking lot on Spring Street (at the bottom of the hil) and park near the building. Take the path across the bridge to the building entrance.

The quickest way up is to enter the door marked East Entrance and take the stairs up to the 3rd floor. Turn left at the landing and you're there, studio 349. It's well marked.

From Highway 91 going South:

Exit in Northampton at exit 20 (North King St.) go straight on King Street to the center of Northampton. Turn right on Main Street (Rt. 9) and proceed west on Rt. 9 approximately 3 miles to Florence Center. Follow the directions above, starting at the 2nd bullet, ("Turn left on North Maple, etc...")
