ArtsAltoona

ArtsAltoona Our mission is to connect people with the arts to strengthen our communities.

Beginning in 2015 with an idea to enrich Altoona's arts and culture, ArtsAltoona has since gained traction as a movement aiming to make our city the heart of art in central Pennsylvania. We advocate for inspiring a vibrant arts and cultural community within the greater Altoona area, and we believe that support for creativity is essential to our city's revitalization. We believe art will drive the economic development of our community and the surrounding region.
