FULTON – After nearly 18 months of renovation, CNY Arts Center finally presented the newly completed Community Arts Center to the public.

A special Thank You Presentation was made on Friday, December 4 with the unveiling of a glass art installation recognizing donors and benefactors who supported the project. A Holiday Open House welcomed the public from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, with tours and a take home sampling of treats from the kitchen.

The Arts Center, located at 121 Cayuga St in downtown Fulton, was purchased in June 2018 and months of conversion finally completed an 80 seat theatre, classrooms, two art galleries, a cabaret theatre, with art supply storage and a theatre shop on the lower level.

“We have had a wonderful journey filled with lots of excitement, adventure, and support from the community,” said Nancy Fox, founder and executive director. “From day one, we eagerly looked forward to opening the doors and saying thank you to the many wonderful donors and supporters. We had so many people to say thank you to that we divided the group into 3 separate gatherings starting Friday night and spread over the weekend to keep attendance low and socially distanced. We just couldn’t miss this opportunity to say thank you. Everyone everywhere has lost so much during this pandemic that we just wanted to focus on the accomplishments and the better future we have to look forward to. The Arts Center is a testament to this wonderful community and we just had to say thank you!”

For those who missed the Grand opening festivities, the Arts Center is offering individual tours as requested. For more information about the organization, visit CNYArtsCenter.com or call 315-598-ARTS (2787).
