REMSEN
ARTS CENTER
Promoting the performing & visual arts in Central NY.
The founding members of the Remsen Performing and Visual Arts Center set out with a goal to create a place for our community to join together and celebrate the arts.
Remsen Concert Series
We have some amazing concerts lined up! From jazz and blues to rock & roll to Americana. Some new bands and also some you may have seen before.
This project is made possible through the CNY Arts Grants for Regional Arts and Cultural Engagement regrant program thanks to a New York State Senate Initiative supported by the NYS Legislature, the Office of the Governor and administered by the New York State Council on the Arts. Plus members, community support, and the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties.
Remsen Art Market
Shop the Remsen Art Market inside our building .
Each year we will be presenting art throughout our building. All art is for sale. To view the art stop in for an event or contact us for an appointment.
