CNY Arts Center Executive Director Gives Update

I’ve been wondering what changes are in store for the Arts Center after all this crisis is over. Will we go back to business as usual?

CNY Arts Center Moves to ‘Forever Home’ in Downtown Fulton

CNY Arts Center, a non-profit multi-arts center in Fulton, has begun the move into a permanent location in the city’s downtown. Now located at 121-125 Cayuga St., CNY Arts Center board members have big plans for the future. “The arts in and of themselves are so important, but when you pair it with an actual physical location, it has the ability to really cement things.

The mural was a spin-off of the “Inside Out Project” a global campaign helping people turn their message into art. “Our message is that we believe that Fulton’s future is found in our children and it’s very bright and we should never forget that,” Fox said.

Member Spotlight: CNY Arts Center

It was five years ago that a simple “Letter to the Editor” submission encouraged people throughout the city of Fulton to come together and replenish the life of the arts for the local community. Little did Nancy Fox know when these meetings began in the spring of 2011, that those once small, weekly meetings that she organized would turn into something bigger and better than she imagined. “In trying times we needed a new identity in Fulton. The arts can have that impact, they can make a difference, we just needed people to know that and be able to see that,” said Fox.
