The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art exists to preserve, exhibit, and advance American art and is dedicated to making its programs and activities accessible to the people of the southwestern area of central Pennsylvania. By establishing and maintaining a museum of art and by providing programs and activities of a public, charitable, civic, cultural, literary, and educational nature, the Museum serves the people of the region. Charged with the development, maintenance, and perpetuation of a permanent collection, the Museum mounts exhibitions designed to evoke an interest in and an understanding and appreciation of American art. As well, it serves as a repository for distinctive collections.
The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art was founded to bring museum services to a geographically isolated rural region. In its first two decades, the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art has developed a significant permanent collection, curated important special exhibitions, organized four additional facilities, and implemented successful education programs for the people of the region. In 1995, the Museum received accreditation from the American Association of Museums, an honor signifying that our Museum fulfills the highest national standards of operation.
The Museum offers artists-in-residency programs, arts-in-education programs, film series, lectures, workshops, classes for children and adults, and performances by professional artists.
The permanent collection includes 19th and 20th century painting, sculpture, drawing, and prints highlighted with works by Mary Cassatt, Helen Frankenthaler, Andy Warhol, Alfred Stieglitz, Margaret Bourke-White, and John Sloan.
