Grand Street Community Arts, Inc. is a community arts center located on the corner of Madison Avenue and Grand Street in Albany, New York. Located in the heart of one of the most economically and racially diverse neighborhoods in the city, our aim is "to create unity and connection, especially through the arts, in an inner-city neighborhood with racial and economic diversity." We are the home of a community radio station operating since 2017. We have launched many programs including our Creative Arts Workforce Development program, our program ArtStreet to support young people to create art with the support of a mentor. and this fall a chess program for young people. You can get to know us at our monthly Breakfast with Grand Street on the first Saturday of every month.
