Mission Statement
The Delaware & Hudson CANVAS was created in 2004 to give the public a quick and easy reference guide for arts and entertainment and to give artists and performers a venue that reaches those interested in the arts. We are committed to bringing our readers exciting information about the arts and arts resources in the counties we serve. Read articles about everything from art, cinema, dance, festivals, holistic living, music, opera, poetry, and theater.
