The arts are alive and thriving in southwestern Pennsylvania! In communities throughout the region there are a great many arts and cultural events and activities for young and old. There are musical performances, theater productions, art classes, dance classes, art galleries, arts festivals, ethnic foods and so much more. Check out our calendar of events to find something fun to do!
Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance member organizations range from very small, all volunteer-driven groups to larger organizations with offices, performance and exhibit spaces and paid staff. Members include performing arts organizations, community arts centers, groups that focus on children’s activities, festival presenters, and more. Individual members are also welcome.
PRAA’s partnership with the 1889 Foundation provides grant funds to applicants in Cambria and Somerset Counties. The grant, called the Creative Health Impact Grant, supports projects and activities that have an arts component and a health/wellness component. Click the “Grants” tab for more information.
Other grant opportunities are available through Pennsylvania Creative Industries, powered by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
