Wayne Art Center has been enriching the cultural needs of the community since 1930. From its modest beginnings as the first art center on the Main Line, the Center has grown into a dynamic nonprofit organization, providing instruction in all phases of the visual and performing arts. Nearly 500 classes and workshops are offered annually to more than 4,000 students of all ages and abilities. The Center’s high-caliber and committed faculty support the fine reputation the Center has achieved through the years. The new Davenport Gallery and the Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Gallery attract over 35,000 visitors a year for exhibitions, lectures and special events. To accommodate and better serve our community, the Wayne Art Center completed an extensive, state-of-the-art, $5.5 million renovation with a 30,000-square-foot expansion project that includes magnificently renovated studios, expanded exhibition areas, increased space for Center staff and faculty, manicured picturesque walking gardens and additional handicapped access. Wayne Art Center is located at 413 Maplewood Avenue in Wayne, Pennsylvania. For further information, call 610-688-3553 or visit the website at wayneart.org.
