Inside the Center for the Arts in Homer: New Spaces, Public Access TV, and Community Partnerships Host Noah Chrysler interviews Ty Marshall, executive director of the Center for the Arts in Homer, New York, about the nonprofit’s multidisciplinary programming, including national touring concerts, live theater, classes, workshops, and community events run seven days a week with support from 200+ volunteers. Ty shares the center’s grassroots origins in a historic former church and highlights major initiatives: a $1.17M Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant to create “Cornerstone” in a nearby former Episcopal church for lectures, youth classes, and performances; development of a recording/production suite and management of Homer Public Access to launch local TV programming; and publication of the twice-monthly Homer News. He discusses community-driven leadership, partnerships such as supporting Cortland County’s poet laureate, local economic impacts, and efforts to help revitalize the Cortland Country Music Park and its museum. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:34 What the Center Offers 01:28 First Visit Highlights 02:35 Origins and Volunteers 03:48 Cornerstone Expansion Plans 05:05 Studio and Public Access TV 07:14 Homer News and Local Media 08:30 Leadership Lessons and Community Listening 09:59 Partnership Example Poet Laureate 11:37 Advice for New Nonprofits 14:35 Impact on Local Economy and Connection 17:57 How to Volunteer 18:45 Country Music Park Revival 23:15 Community Support and Closing Thanks
