Kirkland Art Center

Kirkland Art Center The Kirkland Art Center was established as a community arts organization 60 years ago in the second floor of the town library as a meeting place.

From the beginning there were classes, exhibitions, films, concerts and lectures. The KAC is now an active, regional, multi-arts center, located in an old church, barn and connecting addition, on the village green in Clinton. The nature of the activities and mission has stayed steadfast, and with the support of the community, members, volunteers, funding sources and guidance from the NYSCA, our pr

ogramming has broadened. Demonstrating high-quality, diverse programming, the KAC has become a a cultural hub in central New York and through cooperation with other organizations has developed a network of services and opportunities for artists and art lovers of all ages and disciplines.
