About Stissing Center for Arts & Culture
One of the Hudson Valley’s Most Beautiful Venues
Stissing Center is actively restoring a beautiful brick building constructed in 1915. The main hall, upstairs, has been revived into a beautiful, rustic-chic performance space with an accessible glass entryway and a rebuilt proscenium stage. With continued donor support, the lower level will be transformed into an intimate second performance and gathering space, with a functional kitchen and bar. Here we will host more intimate gatherings, meetings, films, and private and community events. An upper floor will house offices for the Center and local non-profits, plus the Broadhurst Gallery.

Stissing Center for Arts & Culture brings people together through the shared experience of arts and culture. We partner with artists, organizations, and audiences to curate diverse, high-quality programming that inspires, entertains, and connects people of all ages. By supporting creative expression and expanding access to the arts, we help build a vibrant and sustainable community—one that celebrates imagination, strengthens the cultural heart of our region, and contributes to local revitalization.
