Culture

Our founder, Joseph C. Canizaro, has been a patron of the arts and avid collector for many years. His goal for Tradition is to showcase works of art and sculptures of all types and sizes, several of which are on display in the town. Activities on the Tradition calendar often include seminars, lectures and performances. Local artists are also invited to showcase their work in the Tradition Sales Center, and the Village Institute partners with local schools like St. Patrick Catholic High School and the art department at William Carey University on various projects.
