Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council receives grant

Assembly Republican Leader Charles H. Nesbitt (R,C-Albion) has announced that he and Senator George Maziarz (R,C-62nd Senatorial District) have secured a $10,000 state grant to fund the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council's (GO ART!) renovation of the former Batavia Club building. The funding, made through New York's Empire State Development Corporation, will help GO ART! transform the building into a community cultural center for Genesee and Orleans Counties.

The Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council provides a broad range of art, education and cultural programs for the people who live and visit Genesee and Orleans Counties.

The Batavia Club building, located at 201 East Main Street, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was gifted to GO ART! in 2002 by The Batavia Club.
