Campaign Details

The mission of Studio 53 is to bring arts to the Community through donation-only based classes. In a day in age when art classes and arts programs are being cut, and teachers have to go further and further into their own pockets to provide materials and the costs of private art study always climbing, we are here to be a voice. Studio 53 will be the alternative and a space for those with a desire to expand their artistic pursuits and exposure to the arts. 

We believe art is a right, not a privilege, and should be accessible to all despite economic background and resources. We believe that a spark of imagination can help change not only an individual's world but the world we live in.

Your Donation

Monies raised will help us restore, rebuild, and preserve one of the oldest buildings in Cooperstown. The building needs both interior and exterior renovations (including roof repair). In addition to funding the building itself, contributions will go towards building studio space, classrooms, necessary supplies for teachers and students, and arts programs. The entire project cost is estimated to be $300,000, but we are looking to raise $75,000 online and the remaining capital through fundraising events, grants, patrons, and board members, etc.

53 Pioneer History

Not only are we focused on the future, but we also have a strong need and obligation to protect the past. 53 Pioneer Street is one of the oldest buildings in Cooperstown, New York having survived the great April 10th Fire of 1862 that burned most of the Main Street District but stopped just across the street, sparing it from the flame.
 
The building is home to two hundred years of stories and experiences that are extraordinary and familiar and carry resonance to this day. Preserving this building to allow new stories to be made will contribute to its remarkable history and Cooperstown's extraordinary legacy.
  

Please consider contributing to our campaign and help us preserve history while creating a new future — brick by brick.
