ABOUT US
Founded in 1964, the Lawrence County Art Association was established by local citizens who recognized the important role the arts play in strengthening and enriching community life. For more than sixty years, the Association has encouraged artistic expression, promoted art education, and provided opportunities for artists and art enthusiasts throughout Lawrence County.
Today, the Association continues that mission through exhibitions, workshops, community art projects, educational programs, and outreach activities that connect people of all ages with the visual arts. Located in the Wiley Gallery downtown on J Street, the Lawrence County Art Association serves as a cultural resource for our community, fostering creativity, supporting local artists, and preserving the artistic heritage of our region.
