  • Annual Membership Get-together - Members are invited to the Annual Membership Get-together. Meet other members, smooze, and be part of the decision-making that will affect the future of the West Kortright Centre

After 35years of operation, The Centre is seen as a model for how a community arts organization can remain relevant, successful, and solvent. We thank all of our current and past business sponsors!

Regional involvement and dedicated business participants are vital to our success. While we receive money from government sources, we rely a lot on local and national business support for our programming. As an organization we live and breathe the ideal of community involvement, incorporating it into our business planning and program selection.

By becoming a Business Sponsor, you add to the quality of all of our lives—through the arts, community strength, growth in travel and tourism, and regional economic development. for more information on becoming a Business Sponsor, contact Lisbeth Firmin, Marketing Director, at 607-278-5454 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Volunteer This Season

It’s amazing! Each year the West Kortright Centre pulls together an incredible season, creative workshops, and several community events – and we would not be able to do it without our volunteers. Whether it’s an event, a fundraising drive, marketing blitz, or repairing our beautiful building, we depend on committed people, just like you, for support.

If you are willing to offer your time and expertise, please contact Jenny Rosenzweig, General Manager, at 607.278.5454 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
