Join us in discovering the talents that are uniquely concentrated in the Bristol Hills surrounding Canandaigua Lake, one of New York's Finger Lakes.
Nestled on a quiet hill in a restored 1850s cow barn, the Cultural Center is the place with the pleasures of art, drama, dance, music, folk arts, gourmet cooking, and so much more.
