Welcome...
....to the Main Web Site of the
York Art Association !!!
A Little Bit About Us..
The York Art Association, located
in York Pa, began in 1905 when
three visual artists and several businessmen came together to exchange
views and interests. One hundred years later, the York Art Association
has evolved into a vital organization with over 375 members with varied
artistic interests and skill levels.
A large part of our mission is to provide opportunities in the
south-central Pennsylvania area to expand one's skills or simply
explore one's creativity through classroom instruction, workshops,
lectures, exhibits and the many publications and media products in our
YAA library.
In support of our goals, we offer year round day and evening classes
for adults and/or children six days a week. A number of workshops and
lectures are also scheduled throughout the year, along with 12 diverse
juried and non-juried shows in our gallery. We make an effort to
communicate with our members on a monthly basis via newsletter, and it
is hoped this website will provide additional & enhanced
communication with our membership regarding the York Art Association.
Approximately 25% of our classroom students are children, with
another large percentage of enrollees qualifying as "Active Seniors" in
pursuit of long-denied creative interests.
We're Celebrating...
This past year marked our 100th
anniversary of supporting Artists in
the York Pa Area!!
We had numerous activities throughout the year in celebration of our
anniversary, and hope that you had the opportunity to join us in some
of those activities.
We are now starting our 2nd century of support to those seeking to
discover & pursue their artistic interests, here in York County,
Pa. So, join us, discover us and you may end up discovering yourself!!
