History

Established in 2012.

Opened in May of 2012 Wlld Salamander transformed the 1891 farm house located in the center of Hollis, NH. The building itself inspired Charlie and KC Morgan to open the community art center. Local photographer, Art Whitty and his wife Lucy relocated in 2002 leaving the house to become a series of businesses. The name inspired by a walk in the woods near the center’s home. The symbolism of the salamander includes fire, creativity and creation. Wild defines itself.
