Cobblestone is changing arts education

The Cobblestone Arts Center is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization providing day programs for adults with disabilities. We believe that everybody has an inner artist, and it is our mission to bring out the inner light of each one of our students through visual art, dance, and musical instruction. All ages, cultures, and abilities have always been welcome at Cobblestone.

We are proud to host theater performances, cultural events, and musical performances at our theater in beautiful Farmington, NY.

We are also the home of the Cobblestone Players, a nonprofit theater organization that provides community outreach in rural areas, showcasing the arts and art productions.

History:

Cobblestone began as a wheelchair dance company, Wheels In Motion, in 1986 and gave inspiration to form an all day arts classes for adults with disabilities. Through music, dance, visual arts, and theater, students gained a great sense of value and accomplishment connecting with each other and the community. We are proud to bring all the arts to the community, a unique after school program, and a new theatre space for the whole area to enjoy live performances.

Mission Statement:

It is our unique mission to use the Arts as the common denominator in our vastly diverse community, to let Art be that unspoken language of the heart that breaks through prejudices and stereotypes, that nurtures the soul and brings every member of the community together to appreciate each other's gifts. We can accomplish this by hiring and retaining first class employees, maintains skilled construction professionals and by approaching the growth of our organization with honesty and integrity.

Vision:

Cobblestone Arts and Educational Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of the community for all ages and abilities through Art, Education, and Participation. Our classes in Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Public Speaking, and Media Studies are aimed to help students achieve a higher potential while developing a sense of involvement in the community.
