TIAC MISSION STATEMENT
To advance art, craft, and our unique textile
collection through education and exhibition.
Thousand Islands Arts Center
...to our 55th season, and a year of exciting art and craft classes, eight kids camps, outstanding
314 John Street, Clayton, NY 13624 exhibitions and last but not least, the NEW 1000 Islands Art & Craft & Antique Festival.
315.686.4123 TIArtsCenter.org At the time of this writing (late February), we are cautiously optimistic that we will be able to
hold all of our programs and host our full schedule of exhibitions and events, following federal
Open Year Round and state protocols of course. After a drastically reduced calendar last year, we are eager to see
9 am–5 pm, Monday–Friday you all again, welcome several new instructors and returning ones, and offer over 75 classes.
PLUS SUMMER HOURS: TIAC will install three major exhibitions this season: Bird on a Wire: The Art of Greg Lago;
10 am–3 pm, Saturday Summer Days, Summer Nights, (ceramics by Margie Hughto); and the longtime seasonal favorite
Along the River’s Edge, a juried exhibition featuring artwork from the best regional and national
artists representing the finest work in a range of mediums. In addition to the many ATRE featured

dozen parties that were unable to run last summer and a few new ones, too. Finders Keepers,
our resale shop offering eclectic and gently used vintage goods and antiques, will return after a
very successful first season last year despite the virus.
New this summer will be the 1000 Islands Art & Craft & Antique Festival which will replace
the longstanding craft and antique shows. After 55 years for the Antique Show and 37 for the
Craft Show, and a changing marketplace, our board, staff and development committee agreed
it was time to change it up! And, so far, it’s been well received by many returning dealers.
Please be sure to check out the complete calendar on page 38.
On behalf of the TIAC Board of Trustees and staff, I thank you, especially our steadfast
members, for your ongoing support. The allegiance shown TIAC over the past difficult pandemic
year was heartening and illustrated just how important a vibrant arts scene is in our beloved
River communities.
See you soon!
