GoggleWorks, Arts center in Reading, Pennsylvania.
GoggleWorks is an arts center in Reading housing teaching studios, artist workspaces, exhibition galleries, and a screening venue for films. The spaces spread across the building and serve different purposes, from individual studio work to public events and shows.
The building began as a goggle factory and was transformed into an arts center in 2006. Its historic industrial architecture led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

The facility is open daily and you can enter without paying admission. Free parking is available on site, making it easy to visit whenever you want to explore the studios and galleries.
