Main Line Art Center
ART FOR EVERYONE
The vision of Main Line Art Center is to maintain and further enhance its unique culture of
creativity in the visual arts. The art program at Main Line Art Center explores traditional art
forms while embracing innovative, forward-thinking, and contemporary ideas. Our strength lies
in welcoming new techniques and new teaching methods that encourage people at all levels
of ability in the community to create and appreciate art. Classes and workshops are offered
year-round in areas such as painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, jewelry
making, and printmaking. The Art Center offers up to ten annual exhibitions, including stretch
and community exhibitions and seasonal fine crafts shows, that feature the work of
established and emerging artists, many of whom are Members, faculty, and students.
We are committed to making art accessible to everyone and accomplish this by offering art
programs for individuals of all ages and abilities, including a unique series of outreach
programs for children and adults with developmental and physical disabilities, and by offering
$12,000 in need-based scholarships from a restricted endowment to our students each year.
More than 16,000 individuals, ages two to senior citizens, participated in our programs last
year – either as artists, students, or enthusiastic viewers.

Summer Camp:
ART in the Spotlight
June 13-August 26 (11 Weeks)
Ages 4-13 / Full and Half Days
Without the visual arts, a Broadway play would be less
dramatic, musicians and composers would be less
inspired, and performances, from puppets to musicals,
wouldn't have pizzazz! This summer, we're putting ART in
the spotlight, and highlighting the many ways that the
visual arts enhance every form of creative expression.
