Donation to TIAC allows for new consignment store, more
The TIAC announced Thursday that earlier this year, it was the recipient of a "generous and surprising" donation of the property at 313 James St., the former home of River Magic. It was purchased and then gifted to TIAC by longtime supporters Mary and Ted Mascott in support of the arts center's ongoing campus expansion.
Construction is progressing at 321 James St. in Clayton for TIAC's new building. The $5.1 million project was announced in June of 2023 after a $2 million grant was received from the New York State Council on the Arts Large Capital Improvement Grants for Arts and Culture program. The grant required a 100% match, and that was made by an anonymous donor. TIAC now operates out of 314 John St. in a building constructed in 1877.
The nonprofit is also home of the Handweaving Museum, which is the only one of its kind in the country.
The nonprofit center had operated a thrift and consignment store, Finders Keepers, 321 James St. — the construction site. It was staffed by volunteers, with all merchandise donated. All proceeds supported the center. Finders Keepers will now be set up at the donated building at 313 James St., next door to the new building
"In the immediate future, this wonderful gift will allow for our beloved Finders Keepers to reopen with even more space for vintage treasures and finds," TIAC Executive Director Sarah Riddoch said in a news release.
Opening day for the new store is Wednesday. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. It will remain open through Columbus Day weekend.
Riddoch said that in the coming years, the site promises to become a vibrant public art park that will establish an inviting entrance for its new facility at 321 James Street.
"This extraordinary gift will significantly enhance the long-term aesthetics of the Arts Center campus and further contribute to the welcoming atmosphere of downtown Clayton," she said.

Fed Officials Signal Possible Interest Rate Cut: Is the Time Right?
Key Takeaways A weak July jobs report has more Federal Reserve officials saying the time might be right for interest rate cuts. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said data suggest the economy is slowing and that the Fed may need to act in the 'near term,' which could be as soon as its September meeting. While officials are still keeping an eye on inflation, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said the risks of a quick decline in the labor market mean that the Fed should act inflation remains stubborn and concerns about the labor market rise, several Federal Reserve officials are now saying that interest rate cuts may be imminent. That's a change in tone from last week, when most Fed policymakers voted to leave their influential interest rate unchanged for the fifth time this year. Fed officials had been content to wait and see how tariffs were moving through the economy, but the July jobs report raised concerns that the economy wasn't as strong as previously thought. In a series of public remarks this week, Fed officials said that the weakening in the labor market could prompt them to cut interest rates sooner rather than later. 'Wage growth is coming down. We've seen the jobs number and consumer spending is cooling. All of that suggests the real underlying economy is slowing,' said Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari in a CNBC interview. 'That means in the near term, it may become appropriate to start adjusting the federal funds rate." While Kashkari said that weakening jobs data could force the Fed to act, he maintained his projections that the central bank will enact only two interest rate cuts this year. The Federal Open Market Committee, which has kept rates steady throughout the year, has three more meetings scheduled for 2025, with the next interest rate decision coming on Sept. 17. Weak Labor Report Alarms Fed Officials The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported weaker job growth than expected in July and significantly revised the labor market additions reported in June and May. Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook said the revisions were 'concerning' and that officials must follow labor market data more closely over the coming months. 'These revisions are somewhat typical of turning points, which speak to uncertainty,' Cook said. Meanwhile, Atlanta Fed President Rafael Bostic said while the recent labor report raised worries, it wasn't enough for him to change his position that the Fed would only need to cut interest rates once this year. 'Those revisions were quite large, and I think it really reflects some of the churn and the turbulence in the economy,' Bostic said. 'It really did cause me to think a little differently about how well we're doing relative to our maximum employment mandate.' Fed Officials Still Eyeing Sticky Inflation Fed officials still have inflation on their mind, as well. Inflation measures have shown prices have remained above the Fed's target of 2%. Economists are still watching for the impact on prices from tariffs, but San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly didn't see a long-term threat to the economy from tariffs. However, a sudden rise in unemployment could require a quicker response from the Fed, she said. 'We know that once the labor market stumbles, it tends to fall quickly and hard,' Daly said. 'All this means that we will likely need to adjust policy in the coming months.'
