New BoardedUP Series Launched!

March 12, 2010

Last week we launched our BoardedUP 2010 Series. With nine new boards installed, the boarded up windows on the Madison Avenue side of St. Anthony’s are once again a display of colorful renditions of art. The boards will be displayed for one month and then rotated on the first Friday of Albany every month until September. In September we will once again hold our annual BoardedUP Series Auction. We are excited to see all the works of art

Mission Statement

The mission of Grand Street Community Arts is to create unity and connection, especially through the arts, in an inner-city neighborhood with racial and economic diversity.

The arts center creates a supportive community and focuses on its youth. The center presents a broad spectrum of arts programs and performances that encourage art as a natural tool of expression available to everyone. By restoring historic St. Anthony’s church as its home, the arts center creates and nurtures a link with the unique living history of the local community.
