CNY Arts is contracted by the New York State Council on the Arts to serve as the regional arts council for six counties across 5,600 square miles of Central New York and the Mohawk Valley, including Oswego, Oneida, Herkimer, Cortland, Madison, and Onondaga counties.
Its mission is to support, promote, and celebrate arts and culture.
With funding from the Regional Economic Development Council through NYSCA, CNY Arts recently completed and published a comprehensive regional assessment and developed a ten-year cultural plan, ENGAGE CNY.
“This office sharing arrangement is a crucial step in implementing ENGAGE,” said Stephen Butler, CNY Arts executive director. “Having office space in downtown Oswego will allow us to better unite our region, and support artists and arts, culture, history, and heritage organizations.”
A schedule of CNY Arts’ office hours will be posted on the CNY Arts website, www.cnyarts.org
