About Us
Our Vision
At Nisk Art Friends, our vision is to inspire Niskayuna K-12 students to connect and create art through exceptional opportunities and experiences. Together, our members and sponsors can make a meaningful difference in the lives of Niskayuna students and our community's artistic landscape.
Our Mission
- Promote excellence in The Arts: Encourage students to participate in regional and national art competitions.
- Invest in future artists: Provide student scholarships to those who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to the Arts.
- Encourage creativity: Enable students to explore diverse genres and perspectives through access to local artists, guest speakers and museums.
- Connect across communities: Organize events that foster shared artistic appreciation and belonging, while meaningfully impacting our community.
Our History
Founded in 2023, Nisk Art Friends is growing from a small group of parents and guardians who shared a passion for bringing the Arts to our children, families and community to a thriving organization that offers a range of programs, events, and exhibitions.
Nisk Art Friends has a five-year plan of priority programs and events to increase its memberships, donations, scholarships and initiatives -- strategically and intentionally. All funds received this year will be allocated towards our priority initiatives such as annual Niska Day participation, annual art scholarships, a new community mural, an annual school calendar and much, much more.
