The ART Mission & Theater
The ART Mission and Theater is a non-profit downtown community art and cinema space supporting contemporary artists and independent film for a growing public. Our mission is 'Growth in Greater Binghamton through arts experience.' We believe that art is a verb with the power to move. We also strive to maintain many eco-friendly ideals within the gallery and theater.
Background
The ART Mission started as a gallery in 1999 at 128 Washington. In 2005 the board of directors approved a merger with the former Art Theater. The ART Mission and Theater opened at its new location of 61 Prospect Ave in 2007 as an art gallery and duplex theater.
Owner Bio
I like art, strange lands, secret societies, magical shamans, and cephalopods. I also love Quorn chicken. I hold a BA in Cultural Anthropology from BU with a focus on Entheogens and museum studies. I hate it when people don't recycle!
