Community impact. Give   Special Matching Campaign!  53 PIONEER PROJECT Give Today. Your Gift Will Be DOUBLED! HELP US BUILD WHAT COMES NEXT! Imagine a place where artists, students, families, and art-lovers of all ages come together to create, learn, and connect. And right now, your impact goes twice as far.  When you give today, your contribution will be DOUBLED, helping turn this historic building into a thriving arts destination for generations to come. That's the vision for 53 Pioneer—a vibrant, year-round arts center in a historic 1826 Cooperstown building. A $640,000 New York Forward grant has helped launch the project. Now we need our community to help take it to the next level. Transforming 53 Pioneer into a state-of-the-art arts facility will require a $2 million + investment and will create space for: LEARNING — a flexible studio and classroom space. CREATING — affordable classes, workshops, and hands-on experiences for children, teens, and adults. SUPPORTING ARTISTS —retail space where artists can exhibit, connect with audiences, and sell their work. CONNECTING — a welcoming place for neighbors, families, artists, and visitors to gather and share ideas. Every new donor who gives today can help make twice the impact. Your gift isn't simply helping renovate a building. You're helping create the future of the arts in Cooperstown and throughout our region.
