in a historic former factory building on the Erie Canal!
Our 100 year old building formerly housed the Western Block Company, once the largest manufacturer of block and tackle in the country. The block and tackle manufactured here was widely used in the shipping trade and other industries. Samples of the molds used and other historical items are on display.
This former factory is now home to the Market Street Art Center. The current owner is Hilger Properties. While transforming the building into art studios, care was taken to keep some of the "old factory" feel Pipes, iron H-beams and stone walls remain exposed. The outside of the building has been renewed with murals and flowers, while the inside has been painted white.
The Market Street Art Center complex provides a friendly atmosphere where regional artists can create and display their work. Artwork encompasses all media including watercolor, oil, pastels, acrylic, pencil, photography, portraits, pottery, jewelry, chainsaw sculpture, embroidery, printmaking and puppetry.
