Funding Secured to Complete Renovation of the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts
The Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts (TCFA), a cornerstone of arts education and cultural programming for more than 40 years, is pleased to announce that it has secured full funding to complete the renovation of its historic facility in Trumansburg, NY. The Conservatory provides affordable opportunities to engage in the arts through education, collaboration, performance, and exhibition, enriching the quality of life throughout the community.
Housed in an 1851 Greek Revival structure—originally a Baptist church and listed on the National Register of Historic Places—the Conservatory features a grand auditorium with a 30-foot ceiling, balcony, and large stage, as well as a multipurpose classroom and arts studio.
For years, this remarkable building has required essential preservation and modernization. Its roof structure and foundation was failing, plaster in the auditorium was deteriorating, and the facility was not fully accessible to people with disabilities. Recognizing the need to protect this cultural landmark and ensure its future viability, the TCFA Board engaged the architectural firm Holmes King Kallquist to design a renovation plan that honors the building’s historic character while ensuring accessibility, sustainability, and functionality for 21st-century arts programming.
