ABOUT CHOOSE COHOES FOR ART
Choose Cohoes for Art was created in XXXX for a simple reason: To foster a welcoming environment for local artists to come together, create, and have a sense of community amongst each other. While this endeavor started out only including Cohoes proper, we later branched out to include the surrounding counties as well - Albany, Saratoga, Rensselaer & Schenectady counties - because, when it comes to art, the more the merrier, right?
Since XXXX we have hosted the Cohoes Artist Showcase (CAS), which features art submitted by both CCfA Members and non-members. Each year was more successful than the last, however, the COVID-19 Pandemic severely halted any momentum we had gained over the years.
CCfA recognized that in order to regain our ground we needed to revamp the organization as a whole... Which is exactly what we've been doing. We added new leadership to the organization, new members to the board, and created a subcommittee to help with our new endeavors that expand beyond just our annual CAS event. In 2024, we started hosting the Spindle City Art Walk on the 3rd Friday of each month from Spring to Fall, bringing together all of Remsen Street and its businesses in a way that benefits everyone.
