Why This Exhibit Matters to Our Region
At its heart, this exhibition isn’t just about art — it’s about community revitalization through culture. It showcases how the arts can unite people across generations, support local talent, and spark pride in place. Hosted by The Arts Factory, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the Mohawk Valley’s creative scene, the event also reflects ongoing support from the Foundation of FM, which helps fund cultural programming that uplifts both campus and community.
In a time when the arts need champions more than ever, this exhibit is a call to gather, witness, and support the incredible creative voices right here in our region.
Why It Matters
As families wrestle with rising education costs, student debt, and economic uncertainty, empowering young people with real-world financial skills is more crucial than ever. This Fifth Friday event isn’t just a talk — it’s a step toward building a more financially confident community.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, donor, or student advocate, we invite you to attend, learn, and take part in shaping the future of financial literacy — right here at home.
