ArtsWestchester
For over 50 years ArtsWestchester has been the community’s connection to the arts. Founded in 1965, it is the largest private not‐for‐profit arts council in
New York State. Its mission is to provide leadership, vision and support to ensure the availability, accessibility and diversity of the arts. ArtsWestchester works in the spirit of an entrepreneur to provide arts programs and services that enrich the lives of everyone in Westchester. It helps fund concerts, exhibitions and plays through grants; supports public art; brings
artists into schools and community centers; advocates for the arts
and builds audiences through diverse marketing initiatives. In 1998, ArtsWestchester purchased the neo‐classical bank building
at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue which has since been transformed into a multi‐use resource for artists, cultural organizations and the community. During CEO Janet Langsam’s time at the helm of ArtsWestchester, the organization has grown from a $1 million to a $4.5 million agency.
“I believe that creativity is a crucial
facet of visionary leadership. Ideas and inventions depend upon imagination and inspiration. These are the elements that enable us to see the future, dream of things to come and find solutions that nobody ever thought of.”
—Janet Langsam • CEO
