The Resource Center (Chautauqua) recently held a ribbon cutting to formally unveil the KeyBank Art House at Edgewater, the new home of their art program for people with disabilities. The Art House, located on Eighth Street in Jamestown, was created from an old garage. The 1,700 square- foot structure will offer a variety of classes, including painting, drawing, mixed media and ceramics. A gallery space will give class participants a forum to showcase their work.

“We are excited to formally unveil the KeyBank Art House at Edgewater,” said Denise Jones, The Resource Center’s Chief Executive Officer. “Today represents the culmination of our long-held dream to give more people with disabilities the opportunity to express themselves through art. We are grateful to KeyBank and First Niagara Foundation, Empire State Development, the City of Jamestown, and everyone else who helped make this facility possible. We can’t wait to see the amazing art that will be created in this beautiful space, and we look forward to partnering with other local entities to expand access to the arts.” Major funding for the project came from KeyBank and First Niagara Foundation, which jointly provided $225,000. Empire State Development will provide a Regional Council Capital Fund grant of up to $134,440.
