WHO WE ARE

Saratoga Arts is the community arts center located on the corner of Congress Park and Broadway in historic downtown Saratoga Springs. Accommodating all genres of creativity, we are home to arts education for both kids and adults in multiple studio style classroom spaces, a dedicated printshop, rehearsal and music studios, a gallery and exhibition space, a black box theater for film, music, theater, special events, a gift shop and so much more.

All of our activities flow directly from our mission of making the arts accessible: we encourage and enhance public access to a full range of the arts and art modes, from traditional work by established artists and performers to contemporary work by emerging artists; we help all in the community recognize themselves as artists and explore their abilities to make art, and in our programming and approach to programming we enact that commitment; and finally, we work with other organizations in the region – arts presenters, business groups, and governmental agencies – toward our vision of a greater community that understands the powerful role the arts play in personal enrichment and community development, and the regional interconnections of all stakeholders in that vision.

SARATOGA ARTS STAFF




 

Theresa Morrison

Assistant Director

tmorrison@saratoga-arts.org

Theresa joins the team at Saratoga Arts from the Western New York area. Her creative endeavors started at an early age with a love of poetry and theater. While earning her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Hilbert College, she became a published poet. Her career has led her to many different work experiences and working with the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity at Stella Niagara for the last four years has given her a solid foundation for work in the non-profit sector.


In September 2022, Theresa moved to the Capital Region to be with her partner and is still learning all the amazing things about the community of Saratoga Springs. In her spare time, Theresa enjoys watching football and rooting for her hometown team…Go Bills! She participates in the art abandonment movement, painting rocks and taking photographs; as well as reading great fantasy novels.





Spencer Sherry

Grants and Community Outreach Coordinator

ssherry@saratoga-arts.org


Spencer has been a 518 resident ever since he graduated from high school in Laurens, NY. Always eager to experience new things (but never doing one thing for too long), he attended St. Rose for Music Industry, SUNY Oneonta for Criminal Justice, and UAlbany for Communications. His natural antsiness eventually led him to filmmaking, where there are unlimited stories to tell and every day is different. After a year of working as a production assistant on big budget projects in New York City, he returned upstate to produce his own work, believing that community is a better resource than locale.

Fundraising and promoting has become a large part of his independent filmmaking process, and developing those creative skills led him to a vast network of Capital Region filmmakers, to whom he offers guidance, enthusiasm, and support. He couldn't be more excited about his job of expanding that assistance to local artists in other mediums, and connecting them with funding opportunities. If he's not in his office, he's probably producing a film or mysterious event, building a patio at his home in Greenfield Center, or eating dinner at the bar with his partner Lauren.




 

Ally DeRusso

Ally is a interdisciplinary artist working with printmaking, photography, and fiber arts. She holds a BFA in Studio Art from the College of Saint Rose. During her studies, she completed an internship at the Center for Photography at Woodstock instilling a passion for non-profit based work.

Prior to working at Saratoga Arts, she worked as a hand painted sign artist. In 2022, she was a grant recipient of an Individual Artist grant, part of the Community Regrant Program supported by Saratoga Arts. In her free time, she is probably in her studio printing and sewing, adventuring with her dog Canela, or cooking.
