Empowering the Western New York arts and cultural sector.

At Arts Services Inc, we provide the tools and resources you need for a successful career in the arts – whether you are an arts administrator, manager, or a working artist.  ASI enhances and contributes to the rich cultural sector of WNY to support a thriving industry.

We focus in four main areas of service for our area artists and arts and cultural organizations:

  • Professional Development
  • Resources
  • Representation and Advocacy
  • Access, Equity, and Inclusion

Arts Arts Services Inc. provides direct services and funding to a diverse range of artists and arts and culture organizations throughout Western New York – offering support to Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties. We believe that a strong arts sector is vital to the cultural and economic health of our region. By connecting artists with funding opportunities, professional development, and community access, we help to foster a thriving and inclusive creative community.

Are you an artist and need assistance or advice? Maybe you work at a non-profit arts and cultural organization and want to connect to other professionals in the community? Attend one of our workshops and learn more about the business-side of art! Contact us by calling 716-833-3004 or email us at [email protected] to see how we can help you or work together.
