Arts Services Inc. will be joining Visit Buffalo Niagara and the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning to present on funding opportunities for area theatre companies as part of the “Business of Theatre” conference hosted by Erie County Legislator Jeanne M. Vinal, Esq.

  1. Supports other small businesses, including restaurants and hotels
  2. Supports other cultural institutions, including higher education
  3. Plays a vital role in the cultural well-being and satisfaction of our community

The conference will take place:
Monday, February 14, 2022
9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Jewish Community Center, 2640 N. Forest Road, Amherst, NY 14068
