One of the Hudson Valley’s Most Beautiful Venues

Our mission: We seek to positively impact our community by partnering with artists, individuals, and organizations to create meaningful programs, events, and opportunities. As a center for diversity, culture, and civic life in a small town, The Stissing Center aims to support local economic revitalization and job creation in Pine Plains and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Stissing Center is actively restoring a beautiful brick building constructed in 1915. The main hall, upstairs, has been revived into a beautiful, rustic-chic performance space with an accessible glass entryway and a rebuilt proscenium stage. With continued donor support, the lower level will be transformed into an intimate second performance and gathering space, with a functional kitchen. Here we will host more intimate gatherings, meetings, films, and private and community events. The lower level will also include a kitchen and bar area. An upper floor will house offices for the Center and local non-profits, plus the Broadhurst Gallery.
