Art exhibitions, literary events such as poetry readings, musical events, and classes are held on the first (and sometimes second) floor of the mill or in the Miller's House. Exhibitions of paintings, prints, sculpture and other visual arts are scheduled approximately monthly from April through October and are open to the public on weekends.

Invitations to HMAP activities are posted on the web site, advertised on flyers posted in the area, and distributed by e-mail, and on special occasions, by standard mail to members and friends. All HMAP activities and events are open to the public.

HMAP also hosts meetings, classes, talks, tours from area schools and other non-art specific events at the mill when they are in keeping with the organization's mission to promote the cultural heritage of the region. Call the HMAP office to schedule visits.
