Each year, Traditional Arts in Upstate New York (TAUNY) brings approximately 50 programs in arts education, exhibits, and public programs to the public. We offer workshops for all ages at The TAUNY Center, at local partner organizations, and in schools. We hold major exhibits (fiber arts, ceramics, quilting, visual arts) and our Folkstore generates over $100,000 to over 150 artists and artisans each year. Our public programs bring hundreds of participants to enjoy authentic and inspiring traditional music, dance, and foodways, and we celebrated the grand opening of our Newberry Café. We ask that you make a generous donation so that we may continue the programs and events you rely on, and which we aim to grow:
Arts in Education
Educational workshops and accompanying performances for youth, adults, and seniors.
Public Programs & Exhibitions
Concerts, dances, exhibitions, foodways events, field research, and archival work.
Folk Store & Newberry Cafe
Support for over 150 local artists and artisans, and our recently launched Newberry Cafe.
Don’t forget to support local establishments this year; Small Business Saturday and #GivingTuesday!
Thank you!
