Located in the heart of Lockport, NY is a place where art, education and recreation thrive. A place where accessibility to creativity is cherished, artistic expression is supported and where teamwork inspires learning. The Kenan Center provides a place for people of all ages to come together and explore
our interests, challenge our assumptions and learn the meaning of community. With year-round programming that gets our hearts racing, our minds thinking and our hands playing – we have something for everyone.
Explore your artistic side with our art galleries and diverse exhibitions that celebrate local and regional artists. Engage your young ones with our educational programs that fuse fun with learning, including workshops and camps that ignite creativity and curiosity. Stay active and social in our sports leagues or enjoy the serene surroundings of our beautiful 25-acre campus perfect for personal reflection or community gatherings.

At the Kenan Center, we’re more than just a center; we’ve been a vibrant part of the community since 1967. Join us in celebrating and cultivating the rich tapestry of Lockport!
