2023 Owego Home & Building Tour

Tioga Arts Council (TAC) is pleased to present its Owego Home & Building Tour Fundraiser on Saturday, October 21, 2023, from 1 – 4 p.m.  

Overview 

Every home, every space, has a story. The Owego Home & Building Tour is a fundraising event designed to highlight the extraordinary architecture in Tioga County and to exhibit the creative ways in which buildings are being used by contemporary families and businesses. It is one of our most beloved fundraisers—attracting visitors from all over the region who explore these spaces and enjoy Owego’s downtown attractions. This year, we will also highlight several businesses that successfully completed Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) projects as part of the tour.

Why It Matters 

This event is an important fundraiser for TAC. It will help us to do what we do best: make the arts accessible to everyone. The success of this event is crucial to many programs that we offer throughout the year, including gallery exhibits as well as Concerts in the Park, Everyday Life, Every Day Art, and Art a la Carte—a free arts-enrichment delivery program to Summer Meal Sites throughout Tioga County, NY. It also allows us to pioneer new programs, like a children’s gallery and zine library.
