We’re thrilled to announce that the Appellate Division, 2d Dept. has summarily dismissed the Appeal pending against the Putnam Arts Council. The Arts will live on in Putnam County at the Belle Levine Art Center where we will continue to operate as we have for the past 47 years. Our attorney, Bill Shilling, did a great job on this case and we thank all of our members, neighbors and friends who stood up for the arts and for the Putnam Arts Council over the past 3+ years!

CLOSINGS

In inclement weather, the Putnam Arts Council office and programs (including classes) follow the Mahopac School District’s schedule for closings, delays and dismissals. Radio Station WHUD (100.7 FM) will have all closing information. You can also check their website www.WHUD.com and look under "Storm Center" for a complete list.



The Putnam Arts Council office and Levine Art Center is now fully operational at 521 Kennicut Hill Rd., Mahopac, NY.

Our newly re-built facility is smashing and almost all brand new. You won’t believe your eyes! The entire interior floor plan has changed and features completely new state-of-the-art heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical and lighting. The top floor is now completely handicapped accessible, including the bathroom, and the cathedral ceilings and design features give it a very elegant look! Lower level studio spaces are renovated, painted, climate controlled and gorgeous!
