ShareArts & Culture
New York's artists, writers and performers have always been at the forefront of American culture.

Others, like Louis Armstrong and Mark Twain, moved to New York in order to explore their craft and share their talents with the world. A dazzling array of attractions across New York State tells the history of these artists and their contributions to our nation's cultural heritage.
