The Art Effect will further expand and improve the previously vacant Trolley Barn located in the City of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, into an education and youth focused center for residents to express their talents and learn of opportunities to further their education. The project will transform the historic Poughkeepsie Trolley Barn gallery into a community arts, culture, and arts-workforce development campus with renovations and additional construction. This new space will include classrooms and arts spaces for kids and teens to learn how to express themselves and hone their artistic talents.
