We’re proud to announce that Erie Arts & Culture has selected the Benedictine Sisters of Erie as the recipients of their 2020 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award.  The Sisters were selected for their work through the Saint Benedict Child Development Center and the Inner-City Neighborhood Art House. 

The Art House was featured in Meg Loncharic's article ReLeaf initative aims to plant trees in Erie County, with students' help for the Erie Times-News on Sunday, November 22nd.

With the goal of reducing and eliminating litter in the local community, Art House faculty and students have collaborated with numberous organizations for some hands on learning and activism.

The Fall 2020 semester is underway at the Art House and we're so glad to be working together again!

Thanks to generous sponsors and individual donors, this year’s Take Out Tuesday, Art to Go virtual take on our annual Taste of the Arts fundraiser exceeded our expectations!  

A small group of Art House students was invited to participate in a kirie papercutting workshop with Erie Arts and Culture’s Visiting Artist Hiromi Moneyhun on Friday, September 4th.

Each September, our much anticipated Taste of the Arts Fundraiser is a wonderful chance to socialize, enjoy a themed menu and drinks, watch performances by the Art House’s talented students and purchase artwork by students as well as professional artists.  This year, though, we are presenting Taste of the Arts as a virtual experience; Take Out Tuesday.

We are grateful to everyone who helped support the mission of the Art House during Erie Gives! 

Your gift of $25 or more will help make it possible for inner-city students to take music, dance and hoop lessons free of charge during our after school and summer programs.

Each summer, the Art House offers an intensive five-week program that fills the building with energy, creativity and community.
