The Flywheel Arts Collective is a collectively run, DIY culture non-profit performance space, in Easthampton, Massachusetts, involved in hosting cheap ($6 or under) or free shows and other community events and workshops. Flywheel is governed by consensus and is all volunteer-run. They have had a building in since 1999 where they host shows of all types.

Although most of the bands that play at the Flywheel are unsigned or local artists, there are occasionally bigger, more well-known acts such as Kill Your Idols, Thurston Moore, and Fugazi.
