Main Line Art Center is a welcoming and inclusive creative

home where everyone is encouraged to create, experience, and discover the value of art. We define art, artistic practice, and art education as lifetime opportunities for personal growth, enlightenment, joy, and development.

Almost Home
We are counting down the days until we can welcome you back to your creative home for the arts! Since June, crews have worked tirelessly to renovate and expand our 100-year-old building to ensure that future generations of artists and enthusiasts have a beautiful space in which to create and experience art. Thanks to our Community Partners, we have continued to offer programs despite our closurebut as the saying goes:

Your Art Center: Refined & Redefined

When we reopen in November, our improved Art Center will feature new jewelry and painting studios, natural light in our ceramics department, a new front entrance to our galleries, and numerous improvements throughout the building. This spring, the Art Center will debut a cross-disciplinary digital art program, the first of its kind in our area. Of course, none of this could be possible without the support of our generous students, Members and donors, like you. You will see some of their names on bricks leading up to our side entrance, and on tiles installed in our side entrance foyer. In addition to the renovation, our fundraising campaign seeks to increase our robust scholarship program and expand our outreach programs in honor of their 50th anniversary in 2014. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation so that we can share your passion for the arts with those who might not otherwise have access. Thank you!

Hours of Operation
Mon. Fri.: 9 am-5 pm Beginning November 11: Mon. Thurs.: 9 am-9 pm Fri. Sun.: 9 am-5 pm

Our award-winning programs span from the traditional to the more contemporary, and are all held to a high level of artistic excellence. The art we exhibit, teach, and share is intended to inspire you, encourage conversation and connections, bring joy to your life, and exceed your expectations. Committed to making art more accessible to everyone, we offer art programs for individuals of all ages and abilities, including a unique series of outreach programs, which serve as national models, for children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Main Line Art Center also grants over $12,000 in need-based scholarships annually. Throughout the year, we present innovative, contemporary art exhibitions in our spacious award-winning galleries. Our exhibition program celebrates our community of artists, as well as emerging and established artists whose work encourages intellectual dialogue and serves as a source of inspiration. Last year over 16,000 people were a part of our creative community, whether they created masterpieces and memories in one of our classes, engaged in a conversation with an exhibiting artist, or reached their potential in one of our life-transforming accessible programs. Come discover yourself here.
