Our Story

Founded in 1953 by a dedicated group of Mt. Airy residents, Allens Lane Art Center emerged from a grassroots movement aimed at fostering intentional integration.

The founders envisioned a space that would provide equitable opportunities in arts and culture, enhancing community well-being through artistic expression.
