We are excited to announce the development of a new arts and cultural facility in Orleans County! The bottom floor of the facility will feature a culinary kitchen, fiber arts gallery, and fiber arts store, but we are seeking your input to determine the best use of the third floor. This space will support a variety of arts and cultural programming, and your feedback will help us design a space that meets the community’s needs and interests.

Note About Our Batavia Facility in Genesee County:

We want to assure our community that the Batavia facility in Genesee County is not closing. In fact, it’s growing! The Batavia facility will continue to offer all of its current programs and is expanding to include exciting new features, such as a cultural garden, outdoor stage, darkroom, pottery studio, wood shop, and two large art classrooms.

These new additions will complement the existing spaces, including the dance studio, make-up studio, music studio, gallery with seven exhibit spaces, library, cultural culinary kitchen, tavern, podcast studio, music garden, and small performance space.

While the new facility in Orleans County will offer some similar classes, it will also host a variety of different programming that we hope will attract residents from both Genesee and Orleans Counties. We encourage you to explore both facilities and take advantage of the unique opportunities each has to offer!
