About

Bringing the power of art to the community & the vibrancy of the community into art.

For over 85 years, we have stimulated minds, provided essential art education and programming, and amassed an exceptional collection of meaningful artworks.

Now, we’re expanding and amplifying our efforts. We’re offering inventive programs, extraordinary experiences and enhanced exhibitions that offer fresh perspectives, energize and empower visitors, and encourage more personal participation.

As the greater Lehigh Valley’s leading creative institution, we stimulate minds, create inclusive spaces for people to explore and exchange world views, and provide a springboard for dynamic conversations that leads to societal improvement.

MISSION & VISION

We strive to be an inclusive regional resource that uses arts and culture as a catalyst to drive interaction, education, experimentation and social change by offering exhibitions and programs that inspire, teach, transform, and engage our Valley–one person, one idea at a time:

Inspire: Present compelling works and programs that influence people to think about ways to improve their community and world.

Teach: Encourage all people to express and nurture their creativity. Cultivate a lasting appreciation for the visual arts.

Transform: Use art as a catalyst for societal improvement and economic development in downtown Allentown.

Engage: Bring people together to share perspectives and foster deeper understanding of one another and the world around them.
