Upper Jay Art Center and Recovery Lounge

The Upper Jay Art Center, also known as the Recovery Lounge, offers a diverse calendar of cultural programming. It is a home for live music performances, theatrical productions, puppetry shows, and visual arts exhibitions. The center regularly hosts events such as story slams, concerts, dance parties, and art benefits, providing a dynamic space for artists and audiences alike. What began as an upholstery shop and antique store evolved into a gathering place for friends and neighbors, eventually growing into the robust arts center it is today. Its programs are supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and the Essex County Arts Council Cultural Assistance Program, highlighting its commitment to enriching the local arts scene.
