Introducing new Fairport Foundation projects
The Foundation is please to announce the inclusion of two new community projects that further advance the mission of our organization - Friends of Perinton Recreation & Parks and Railroad Street Artworks. We will share more information as these projects develop.
Railroad Street Artwork’s Mission
Railroad Street Artworks is committed to fostering a vibrant, welcoming, and supportive community of Artists, Art Lovers and Art Curious - from all backgrounds, abilities, and aspirations - where they can gather, learn about, and experience the creation of art in its many forms
Railroad Street Artworks is dedicated to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and empowering space for all Creatives to thrive, collaborate, and contribute to the cultural and artistic enrichment of our local community.
A Gallery & So Much More
The 3200 square ft. building is naturally divided into 3 main spaces – gallery/retail, classroom and multipurpose space. There is a kitchen space, office, and restroom as well.
Gallery Space – wall space and shelving unit space is rented to artists for display of their work.
Classroom Space – this space will be utilized to schedule creative instruction for all ages.
Multipurpose Space – a large open space that will be furnished so that it can be easily rearranged to meet need.
Public restrooms – A single unisex restroom is available
Kitchen – a kitchen is onsite for storage of refreshments prior to serving. Food will not be prepared onsite.
Office – will be used to run operations by management.
The Fairport Foundation will provide fiduciary oversight for the fundraising efforts of Railroad Street Artworks.
Friends of Perinton Recreation and Parks partners with the Perinton Recreation and Parks Department to foster a connected, vibrant, and inclusive community. Through advocacy, fundraising, and volunteer support, we work to expand access to recreational programs, promote the natural beauty of our parks, and ensure that all residents, regardless of financial background, can participate fully in community life. Together, we strive to create a welcoming environment where every resident can experience the joy of recreation and the well-being that comes from community engagement.
