The Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts was founded in 1970 and incorporated in 1975. The Council received their first grant that year from the PA Council on the Arts to support a series of  Bicentennial Celebrations of the Arts

Since that time, the Council has continued to promote the arts. Various projects including "Artists in Action" demonstrations, art classes workshops, exhibits, arts festivals as well as fine art and crafts shows.

In 1993 an Artists and Arts Organizations directory was published with the help of another grant from PCA.

In 2004 the Council was awarded a performance grant from Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts, and sponsored a workshop and performance by dancers from the Pennsylvania Ballet.

A series of grants from DCED enabled the Council to buy the former St. Joseph's Convent building on Willow Street and the building opened to the public for our First Annual Storytelling Festival  in April 2007.

Classes in various arts related fields followed and the center has been open to the public since then. In 2007 we received a grant to construct a computer arts lab, which will begin operation later in 2008.

Our concept of the Arts includes all the performing arts, including dance music and theater, as well as the visual arts, literary arts and language arts. We believe that the presence of the arts here in the Lebanon Area enriches our individual lives and enhances the quality of life for our entire community.

Membership is open to the general public and to artists, artisans, craftspeople, businesses, government officials and organizations interested in promoting the arts and culture in Lebanon. 


To continue to grow and fulfill its mission of support for the arts in the Lebanon Valley,  LVCA needs your support.  Membership is the first  level of support that we ask of you.
