Our Restoration Project has begun!

Thanks to our generous supporters, TCFA has raised over $676,000, and although we have more funds to raise, we have moved forward with renovation and restoration beginning September 10, 2024.

For over 40 years the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts has been a leader in advancing dance, music and the visual arts in our region. TCFA enriches our community through education, collaboration, performance and exhibition. To ensure our continued success, a strategic plan has been developed which includes the historic restoration of our home, a landmark Greek revival building, as well as improving accessibility and revitalizing our performance and exhibition space. Phase One of our restoration project has begun! Construction is now underway.

Join us in our exciting journey as we renovate our historic building!

We thank you for your continued support!

Asbestos Abatement

The last remnants of the building's original heating system have now been removed from TCFA.

Selective Demolition

Sinks, toilets, and tile have been removed from our bathrooms and reception area revealing beautiful softwood pine! Removal of the famous fiber board in the Lobby uncovered our remaining plaster and is giving more insight on the scope of the project.

Tree Removal

Our second sugar maple was removed from the front lawn of TCFA, and not a moment too soon.

Dead branches were also removed from trees in our backyard.

We will be planting new trees in the front after the renovation construction is complete.

We Lifted the Building

Structural work began by lifting the south wall of the building. Subsequent work will provide additional support and help level the floor.

Inside, the conduit has been removed, and protective material has been laid on our dance floor to prepare for demolition.

Look at our Bones!

We are beginning to see what is behind the fiberboard and plaster. The lobby has been cleared, and it provides a good look inside of our beautiful building.
