Did you know that your donation has a profound impact?

When you donate to CANO you are an essential part of bringing the arts to residents and visitors AND a support system for local artists and community members. Every dollar you contribute helps local families, artists, and our business community. Your generosity also plays a vital role in nurturing the cultural vitality of our area. 

​

*Our Summer Arts Program for Kids and Teens provides affordable all day care for local youths, as well as to opportunities to learn, explore and create. 

*We facilitate events where local and regional artists perform, exhibit and sell their work to the public. About 25% of CANO's budget in 2025 went towards paying artists to teach and perform. 

*We bring community members from all backgrounds together to eat, drink, appreciate the arts and gather in an inclusive space that welcomes diversity. 

 

​Arts & cultural organizations breathe life into rural areas, like the greater Oneonta area, by stimulating the economy, making communities a better place to live and celebrating our friends and neighbors. More than ever, CANO relies on YOUR generosity to continue offering programming and events that inspires, leads and informs the many people who reside, work, learn and visit our beautiful city of the hills.
