Arts Education for Youth & Adults

The Inner-City Neighborhood Art House is a 501(c)(3) organization which provides a safe, nurturing, and caring environment for youth and adults daytime, after school, and during the summer. A ministry of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, the Art House mission is to empower youth through creative experiences, engage in positive self-expression, and develop into confident and caring members of the community.

Youth ages 7-18 and adults who live in Erie's inner city are invited to attend the Neighborhood Art House at no cost for instruction in the visual, performing, and literary arts and in environmental action. This instruction includes semester-length classes and private music lessons; students can also choose a time for tutoring and for one-on-one reading with an adult volunteer.

Community Art classes include homeschool and adult programming options throughout the year.
