Allens Lane Art Center has been a cornerstone of the Mt. Airy community since 1953, by bringing neighbors together to participate in and enjoy the arts. The Center offers 4 core programs: Classes, Gallery, Summer Camp and Theater. Whether you're just starting out and think you might like to try your hand at making art, have children that need a summer to remember, are interested in meeting some of the best artists in our region, or if you're in love with watching your favorite plays come to life, each season we work hard to make a lineup of interesting programs just for you. OUR MISSION Allens Lane Art Center (ALAC) provides programs and activities that bring our diverse community together to experience and support the arts. OUR VALUES Allens Lane Art Center offers opportunities for people to explore their creative potential. These programs and activities are important because artistic experience and expression enhance our quality of life. Allens Lane Art Center strives to make our programs available to those who might otherwise be unable to participate. In carrying out our mission, Allens Lane Art Center is committed to acceptance of social diversity, promotion of a collaborative environment, personal empowerment, freedom of expression, and openness to new ideas. OUR VISION Allens Lane Art Center will be the model of community engagement in the arts in Northwest Philadelphia, providing quality and innovative art and cultural programming for the Greater Philadelphia Region
