Music
We offer year round music events from folk to funk with some of the area's best musicians. Music events are open to all ages and we encourage guests to get up, dance, and truly submerge themselves in the sounds of the catskills and beyond. For booking or attendance please contact us.
Gallery
Immersed in a region with a rich and diverse artist community, our gallery is a place for all to visit and engage in local creativity and beauty. Our gallery is free to view during open hours. Stop by to check out a new artist every eight weeks.
Pottery Studio
The PHCC Pottery Studio is a community ceramics studio where creators can work independently alongside other potters. Whether you are a beginner exploring hand building or an experienced ceramic artist with ideas to produce, as a member of the pottery studio you can direct your own studio experience. One of the key aspects of developing this craft is time and space to practice. The pottery studio offers the space as well as the clay, the tools, and the creative community to explore.

The Catskilled Crafters
The Catskilled Crafters are a group of artists located in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Every year, since 2016, they have developed a community project to keep hands busy during the long winter months in this region. Their name was coined in 2017 by Wendy Brackman, an artist and quilter based in Arkville NY. They meet often at Center and online, where they share ideas and techniques.
Shopping at PHCC
Thrift Shop
From grandpa’s coat to the latest designer duds, our thrift is the place to shop. Generous donations and excellent sourcing keep us stocked with the best of the best clothing, shoes, housewares, and more. Stop by and style your next look. Why thrift? “It can take months and even years for these materials to fully break down in landfills! By choosing to buy secondhand clothing instead of brand new, you reduce waste and help the planet.”
Maker's Market
Our Maker’s Market is home to a variety of local artists. This is a space where creators of all kinds can display and sell their works and promote their art far and wide. It’s great place to pick up a seasonal handmade gift for a friend or souvenir from your visit to the Catskills.
Thrift Shop & Maker's Market open same hours as PHCC Monday - Friday; open until 6pm Saturday and 4pm Sunday.
Phoenicia Farmer's Market at PHCC
Founded in 2021, Phoenicia Farmers Market is a volunteer-led movement to increase access to locally-grown foods in the Town of Shandaken. We bring together local farms, artisanal makers, full-time residents, and seasonal visitors to a weekly market to shop, learn, gather, and compost! Beginning in November 2022, PFM moves indoors to the Pine Hill Community Center, an incredible space where we can provide a terrific shopping experience like what we do now, with live music, prepared foods, and enriching programs. Plus, EBT/SNAP Benefits are accepted! Open every Sunday, 11am-2pm, Nov-April.
Our History
The Pine Hill Community Center opened on December 2, 2000 after a youth tragically took his own life. The Center was created as a gathering space. We want people to make it what they want it to be. This founding principle continues to this day.
The Center began offering workshops for everyone from toddlers to seniors. Open Mic nights, concerts, seasonal parties, movies and nature walks proved popular. Music, Dancing, potluck dinners, wellness and arts classes of all kinds, continue to this day.
The Center hosts a number of successful children's workshops with over 30 local artists, musicians, and naturalists.
The Center's Arts and Crafts room and Thrift Shop, are eagerly sought after. Both have benefited from generous donations, and the continued hard work of dedicated volunteers. During the pandemic, PHCC took over a dozen of our wellness classes online, providing hundreds of participants with weekly yoga, Pilates, meditation, cardio, art, music, and language classes online. PHCC looks forward to bringing continued growth and opportunities to both the Center and the surrounding Catskill community.
