ABOUT

Since its founding, the Center has become one of Central New York’s preeminent presenter of the arts and a proponent of community enrichment through world-class entertainment and arts education. We offer a wide array of opportunities to experience the arts and a smorgasbord of programs and activities from which to feed your soul.

Our 400-seat theater, with its outstanding acoustics and diverse series of main stage programs, attracts and thrills audiences from Canada, the Mid-Atlantic and New England states, and from across New York State. The Center has presented performances by artists of global, national, regional, and local repute, including: Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Leon Russell, Southside Johnny, Tom Paxton, the Glengarry Bhoys, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, SpyroGyra, local favorites Charlie Bertini’s Apple Jazz, CNY Jazz Orchestra, CNY’s Finest, and other notable, emerging artists.

Additionally, the Center features film screenings for all ages, a community theater program (Center Players, formerly C4Act) and showcases artwork by local and regional visual artists in the Borg-Warner Morse TEC art gallery. We also offer our facilities to other community organizations and individuals for a variety of educational purposes, events and private functions. 

You may purchase tickets through our online Box Office, support the Center by purchasing a membership or contributing in other ways.
