                                         About The Art Alliance

   The Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania is a nonprofit organization that 
 exists to serve students, artists and the art-loving public in Pennsylvania's
 Centre County, the  adjacent counties, and beyond. Our organization builds
 bridges between teachers and art students of all ages, as well as between
 artists and potential art patrons. The Art Alliance actively encourages
 community members to become involved in diverse and ever changing art
 experiences. At present the Art Alliance has approximately 350 members,
 all of whom are dedicated to recognizing, developing, and supporting
 visual arts. New members are always welcome.

Our adult classes, workshops and short-term exhibits take place in the organization-owned Art Center Building at 818 Pike Street in Lemont, PA. Children's classes and summer camps are held in the walkout lower level of the adjacent Gallery Shop building at 824 Pike Street. The rear yards of both buildings overlook picturesque Spring Creek as it winds its way through the historic village of Lemont. The buildings are located very close to The Pennsylvania State University's main campus.

 Since its incorporation in 1968 the Art Alliance has grown to support affiliate groups. Current affiliates are
 the Potters Guild and Farmland Preservation Artists. The Potters Guild maintains studio space in the lower
 level of the Art Center Building.

The Art Alliance's Mission Statement
    To promote the visual arts by providing art education for adults and children, offering opportunities
 for practicing artists to exhibit and teach, presenting the public with quality exhibitions and sales, and
 cooperating with other organizations to initiate arts outreach programs that serve communities across
 Central Pennsylvania
