The vision for Artblok is to create an art and agriculture ecosystem to positively impact our community.
- Artist in Residency program, with housing, studio, and commercial gallery space.
- A commercial art gallery highlighting local to international artists, promoting tourism in Utica and the Mohawk Valley.
- (Re)Maker-spaces encouraging artist collaboration and innovation.
- Community and event gathering space for educational events, workshops and local connection.
- Commercial art businesses, including fine art framing and large format digitization.
- FlavoredLayers Farms' hydroponic urban farm, providing fresh produce, education, certification, and workforce development opportunities.
Together, these elements will weave art, food, and community into a vibrant cultural corridor positioning Mandeville Street as a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization, economic opportunity, and creative community empowerment.
We are excited to plug into Utica’s already vibrant arts and culture scene.
