The Lehigh Valley Health Network Gallery and Gallery Annex are programmed by the State Theatre Center for the Arts, in partnership with the Arts Community of Easton (ACE). ACE creates opportunities, which invite community involvement and presents educational opportunities by organizing exhibitions, classes and workshops, an annual studio tour, and public mural projects. ACE also initiates and participates in area activities that enrich the artistic life of the community, working with the community, and underserved groups identified by local agencies. ACE recognizes that a thriving community of artists is essential to accomplishing these goals, thus fosters artists in education and professional development and provides a venue for communication with peers, schools, arts organizations, and local government. Stop by the Lehigh Valley Health Network Gallery open 90 minutes before the show.
