FAQ’s

What is 171?

171 Cedar Arts Center is a dynamic organization that enriches the community by offering excellent arts instruction, exhibiting today’s artists and presenting live performances.

Where are you located?

We operate out of two historic buildings in Corning, New York. Located between First and Second Streets, the Bruce House is to the south, at 171 Cedar Street, and the Drake House is to the north, at 155 Cedar Street.

Where can I park?

Parking is limited to on-street availability during regular business hours. Please observe the alternate street parking regulations in the neighborhood. We ask that you do not park in the TobeyCo lot between our two buildings.

What should I do while my child is in class?

Please walk young students to the door and pick them up inside the building. While young children are attending classes, 171 suggests that a parent or designated responsible adult be available to ensure their care and safety outside of 171’s classrooms.

How will I know if a class has been canceled?

If a class has been canceled due to under-enrollment, we will contact you 1 to 2 days in advance of the class start date. In cases of inclement weather, 171 Cedar Arts Center makes closing decisions independently of local school districts, and posts closings on its website, Facebook page, and newsletter. If you are concerned that your class may be canceled, call 171 directly, see our website, www.171CedarArts.org, or tune into local television news channels.

Do you offer custom classes? Can I plan an event at 171?

Yes! We offer corporate team-building workshops, birthday parties, private rentals, scout badge workshops and more. With no less than 3 weeks notice, 171 staff will help you plan your event. Call 607-936-4647 for more information and to discuss space and instructor availability.
