Fundraising Campaign:

Open the Doors relaunches GARNER Arts Center’s capital campaign to open its new art gallery, regional visitor’s center and permanent base of operations in Building 35, a former factory space, located within the GARNER Historic District. By opening Building 35, GARNER is putting the arts and culture at the center of creating economic and social opportunity in North Rockland County and the Hudson Valley. GARNER’s fundraising goal of $80,000 unlocks the balance of a matching grant from the New York State Council on the Arts Mid-Size Capital Project Fund to complete this historic building’s 21st century transformation.

Virtual Gala Event:

Join GARNER Arts Center for a fun, unconventional, engaging and thought-provoking event, unlike any other online gala you have ever experienced. Open the Doors will celebrate the makers and creators of our region who are transforming their communities into more vibrant, livable and thriving places. Open the Doors will proudly honor Jeff O'Neil of Industrial Arts Brewing Company, presenting him with GARNER’s inaugural "Hudson Valley Maker Award" for distinct accomplishments in creative entrepreneurship.

GARNER Arts Center’s Open the Doors Virtual Gala will include exclusive performances, stimulating live panel discussions, art-making demos, studio visits and so much more!
