The Hudson Arts Foundation has been created to provide the Community the opportunity to enjoy access to, and benefits from, significant cultural activities related to live performances, music, dance, film and related entertainment in its Performing Arts Center. This facility will encourage, promote and support local and regional artists and performance companies. It will offer a venue to schools, community groups and residents to experience and participate in workshops and rehearsals. The Hudson Arts Foundation's positive impact is designed to extend beyond the Performing Arts Center by generating, coordinating and awarding scholarships, grants and subsidies to students, artists and other deserving talents.
