Athens Cultural Center

The Athens Cultural Center has been a gathering place for local arts, classes, film, and community happenings since 2005. ACC offers a rich variety of free and paid classes for all art enthusiasts. Exhibitions are presented throughout the year, along with special events. Housed in a former 1870s storefront, ACC is steps away from the Hudson River. Every December, ACC presents their signature authentic Victorian Stroll.

Gallery Hours: 12PM - 5PM; Saturday & Sunday

3/7 - 3/23 On Beams of Light 

On Beams of Light brings together Natalie Boburka, Chris DeMarco, Carole Krinsky, and Enrico Scull, four ACC member artists whose practices navigate the shifting intersections of nature, time, and human connection through material and process. Boburka’s ethereal large-scale works bridge the material and the cosmic, offering layered reflections on spirit and the environment. DeMarco’s photography captures the quiet interplay between decay and renewal, where nature slowly reclaims built spaces. Krinsky’s vibrant, rhythmic dot paintings pulse with energy, celebrating unity, movement, and joy. Scull, a painter and designer deeply rooted in the Hudson Valley, brings a lifelong fascination with nature and history to his evocative renderings of barns and rural landscapes. In dialogue, these works examine the ephemeral and the elemental—light as touch, time as residue, nature as both subject and collaborator. On Beams of Light is a study in interconnectedness, where form and feeling emerge through process, perception, and place.

4/4 - 4/27 In This Moment - Spring Members' Exhibition

A beloved tradition for over a decade, the spring members' exhibition has grown each year in both scale and artistic excellence. Curated by Lucy and Dandy Michener, this showcase highlights the depth of ACC’s artistic community—honoring long-standing members while providing a dynamic platform for emerging talents. As always, this exhibition offers art enthusiasts the opportunity to directly support ACC members through the purchase of their work. Reflecting ACC’s dedication to diverse artistic voices, the collection brings together a rich tapestry of styles and perspectives, celebrating both individual creativity and the collective energy of the community.
