The Front Porch and Lawn

Home to many of our special events here at the CAA, including the Fine Arts on the Lawn and the Pumpkin Glow the front porch and lawn offer a spacious landscape and a beautiful view of the exquisite architecture of the 22 Main Street builiding. During our annual National Exhibition, a catored reception and the awards presentation is held on the front porch. In addition to hosting special events the lawn also occasionally features outdoor sculptural pieces that rotate throughout the year.
The front porch and lawn

Gallery A: The Augusta Clark Room

Gallery A is named in honor of Augusta Clark and is the CAA's main exhibition space. Being the larger of the two downstairs galleries, Gallery A is naturally lit by pristine skylights and provides an expansive airy atmosphere for exhibition. Gallery A hosts aproximately fourteen shows a year including the Annual Fenimore Quilt Show, Artistic Discovery: The Congressional Art Show for area Highschool Students, our Regional and National Exhibitions, and the Holiday Member Show and Sale.

Gallery B: The Henry S.F. Cooper Room

Gallery B, named in honor of Henry S.F. Cooper, provides a more intimate setting for exhibition. Being smaller than Gallery A, this space is the perfect size for solo shows and usually hosts about six a year. It is a wonderful space for installations as well as small group shows. Gallery B also houses pieces from the Annual Fenimore Quilt Show, Our National Exhibition, and the Holiday Member Show and Sale.

Gallery C: The Ballroom Gallery

Gallery C, the largest of the CAA's galleries is located upstairs from Galleries A & B. This gallery is appropriately known as the Ballroom Gallery which it served as during the Village building's earlier years. Gallery C is also partially lit by skylights and is offers an luxurious location for special events and exhibitions alike. Gallery C shows around four shows a year including the Cooperstown Central School Exhibition, The Leatherstocking Brush and Palette Club Show and a portion of our National Exhibition. Many of the CAA's special events also take place in Gallery C such as Spring Cleaning, The Chamber of Horrors and the Adorn-A-Door Wreath Festival.
