Fifty years ago, five Rye families made their vision of a community art center a reality. Evolving over the years to meet the needs of a growing region, The Rye Arts Center is now the largest not-for-profit community arts center in Westchester. As we celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of the past half-century, we are mindful of the unprecedented challenges we face. Your contribution to The Rye Arts Center will forward our quest to enhance the region’s artistic and cultural life for another fifty years.
