About the Gallery

The Franklin Street Gallery and Gift Shop is operated by The Arc of Schuyler, a non-profit human services organization providing supports and services to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in the Schuyler County area. In addition to exhibiting and selling work created by regional artists, the gallery also displays and sells pieces created by individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Franklin Street Gallery was established as a community arts center to promote the arts in Watkins Glen, Schuyler County and the surrounding area. The gallery encourages the participation of artists from diverse backgrounds and life experiences and exists to enrich the lives of all citizens in the community through education and the advancement of arts in our culture.

Volunteers are always needed to interact with customers and artists and help with special events. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and support the arts in Schuyler County.

The gallery offers a variety of artistic pieces that make beautiful gifts for weddings, anniversary, birthdays, holidays and all special occasions. Find assorted styles of jewelry, fiber arts including baskets and scarves, small and large sculptures, original paintings, matted prints, framed photographs and photo cards, locally authored books, note cards, post cards, magnets and more.
