2015 is a golden year for ArtsWestchester! We’re celebrating 50 years as Westchester County’s council and destination for the arts. As we ready ourselves for the next half-century, we pause to look back and celebrate all the milestones and memorable moments from Westchester’s last five decades.
To mark our 50th Anniversary, ArtsWestchester is partnering with The Journal News to present Through the Decades: Picturing 50 Years in Westchester, a photographic exhibition featuring archival and crowd-sourced photographs.
