PCCA nurtures and inspires the creative spirit in adults and children, supports artists and celebrates their successes, enhances the local economy, enriches the learning experience with arts-in-education residencies and brings artistic and social vitality to Central PA.
PCCA has expanded its Quilt Barn Mural Trail—a loop of 22 8′ x 8′ painted quilts mounted on barns along Perry, and now Juniata County, roadways. Students from each county participated in this Arts-in-Education project.
Visit us at the Perry County Fair for Drop-in Art on Aug. 15, 18 & 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. We’ll be making dream catchers and corner critter bookmarks!
