Help communities to transform using local assets, art, & cultureThe Foundry for Art Design + Culture

The big idea here is to advance an emerging cultural arts organization to one which has the infrastructure, support, and programming initiatives necessary with which to teach cultural businesses, artists, institutions, and community developers how to use local assets, art and culture in enriching and strengthening the physical, economic, and social revitalization of New York State’s Capital District. Through the integration of three program areas; art, design and culture, the organization aims to provide programs and initiatives for our community including technical assistance, publications, artist rosters, performance outreach, facilities for artists in residence, art in public spaces, project management, and special projects—with the goal of deepening our connections to the places in which we live and work.
