For more than 50 years, ArtsWestchester has been Westchester County’s connection to the arts. Founded in 1965, it is the largest, private, not-for-profit arts council in New York State. Our mission is to provide leadership, vision, and support, to ensure the availability, accessibility, and diversity of the arts. We help fund concerts, exhibitions and plays through grants; bring artists into schools and community centers; advocate for the arts; promote public art and build arts audiences through diverse marketing initiatives. In 1998, ArtsWestchester purchased the nine-story neo-classical bank building at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue which has since been transformed into a multi-use resource for artists, cultural organizations, and the community. A two-story gallery is located on the first floor of our historic building in downtown White Plains.
