ARTS
Arts in the Town
The arts in Hoosick Falls began with the discovery of Grandma Moses’ paintings in 1938 in a drugstore window (today--Upsy Daisy and Bagel Shop) on John Street by art collector Louis J. Caldor. Grandma Moses captured the spirit and memorialized Hoosick’s scenic countryside in her paintings. Today, that same beauty and tranquility acknowledged by Grandma Moses has inspired internationally and nationally recognized artists to Hoosick, which they now call home.
Hoosick embraces the arts community, and recognizes the important role it has to play in articulating the identity of Hoosick, as well as the cultural and economic benefits that arts bring.
