Help Support the Walk In Art Center
In 2003 the Borough of Schuylkill Haven started planning a five part program to help bring visitors to town and revitalize the community. One of the developments that came from those planning sessions was the vision of Mr. Bert Evans to create an Art Center. Mr. Evans was looking for a way to give back to the community which he had been a part of for so long.
Since opening in 2012, the Walk In Art Center has continued to grow and enrich the lives of people in our surrounding communities.
Educational Programs, Exhibits, Community Events, Art classes, Summer Art Camp programs, and other outreach events are facilitated by the Walk In Art Center to reach into the community.
Visitors come to our First Friday Studio Walk events to speak with the artists, see beautiful artwork, enjoy the entrainment and programs, and spend a pleasant evening with their families, all free of charge.
Our Future Plans
Our Plans for Future Programs Include:
- A Fine Art Festival.
- Partnering with local performing arts groups.
- Working with Access Services to educate disabled adults with Art Education.
- A professional job fair
- A center for young volunteers to be exposed to art in order to fulfill their required community service hours.
- Offer a rotating quarterly class schedule (for all ages) that teaches everything from basket weaving, ceramics and painting, to storytelling and poetry.
- Adding additional scholarships for summer camps
- Continuing to be a valuable community asset and expanding our reach.
