The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) is dedicated to preserving and expanding the rich and diverse cultural resources that are and will become the heritage of New York's citizens.

Genesee Valley Council on the Arts (GVCA) is dedicated to promoting arts and culture in the Genesee Valley. They offer an array of programs and services for artists including: administering grants from the Decentralization Program (DEC), offering year-round programming in our three galleries that solicit work from regional artists, maintaining one of the largest collections of artwork from the WPA in our New Deal Gallery and most importantly, hosting an array of family-friendly community events.

State & Local Partnerships (SLP) Program provides support to Local Arts Councils, Multi-Arts Centers, and Multi-Arts Service Organizations operating at the regional, county, and local levels. These organizations advance arts and cultural initiatives across artistic disciplines and offer comprehensive arts services that are essential to the State’s continued cultural development.

The Yards Collective hosts over a dozen permanent studio spaces along side a communal work space, gallery area, and wood-shop that are all available for rental. As an art's incubator we hope to engage emerging and professional artists through exhibition, residency, public critiques and specialized classes.
