Head downtown from 5:00–8:00 PM for an evening of local shopping, live art, music, and plenty of creativity throughout the Flagship City District.

And while you’re out exploring, come find Erie Arts & Culture! We’ll be painting another board for our Color the City Project, and we’d love for you to stop by, grab a brush, and help us add a little more color to downtown Erie.

Happening TODAY!

Have questions about what’s changing with arts funding in Pennsylvania? We have answers—or at the very least, a Zoom room where we can talk about it together.

Join the EAC team today from 12:00–1:00 PM for our Virtual Town Hall. We’ll break down the latest updates, what the new state budget means for artists and arts organizations in Northwest Pennsylvania, what we’re still advocating for, and what comes next.

Bring your lunch. Bring your questions. Bring your arts-funding curiosity.

💻 Today | 12:00–1:00 PM
Join us on Zoom!

Can’t make it? We’ve got you—the session will be recorded and shared on our YouTube channel afterward.

You spoke up—and it made a difference!

Pennsylvania’s 2027 budget includes a $1 million increase to Grants to the Arts—the first increase in 16 years. More than 250 advocates from Northwest Pennsylvania raised their voices to help make it happen.

So, what does this mean for the arts in our region—and what comes next?

Read our latest blog for the full update, then join us tomorrow, August 27 from 12–1 PM for our Virtual Town Hall to learn more and bring your questions.

Your plans tonight? We fixed them. 🎨

Join us for tonights Pop-Up Gallery & Artist Talk and spend your evening wandering through not one, but TWO creative worlds.

Come see the art, meet the artists, hear the stories behind the work, grab some light refreshments, and enjoy a night that's a little more interesting than sitting on your couch.

Two artists. Two unique perspectives. One evening of art and conversation.

Join us Wednesday, August 26 from 6:30–8:00 PM for Pop-Up Gallery & Artist Talk at Erie Arts & Culture.

🎨 The Mind of Massai Jackson
Step into cinematic, imaginative worlds shaped by memory, history, futurism, and the present. Massai’s work goes beyond a single image, building larger visual stories filled with possibility.

🎨 Pieces of It All | Durim Loshaj
Explore intricate abstract works where natural patterns meet geometric structure. Durim uses grids, digital design, and collage-inspired methods to play with the balance between chaos and order.

Meet the artists, hear about the ideas and processes behind their work, explore both exhibitions, and enjoy light food and refreshments along the way.

Our July + August edition of From the Director’s Seat is here! DOUBLE FEATURE!

What a summer it’s been. From unveiling Erie’s new 70-foot mural and celebrating World Refugee Day to awarding more than $50,000 in grants, gathering at Creative Crowd, and sharing Erie’s public art story on a statewide stage, these past two months have shown us just how much is possible when we work together.

Catch up on a summer full of art, advocacy, partnership, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Head to our blog to read From the Director’s Seat: The Art of Coming Together!
