This Holiday Support the Arts

This Holiday Support the Arts

The Holidays have arrived and everyone wants something. Did you ever consider
a piece of art or supporting a local Arts organization? Local Arts organizations such as the North Pen

n Arts Alliance network with artists from all disciplines and provide outlets for them to display their gifts of artwork. Purchasing a piece of art through the North Penn Arts Alliance supports both the Artist and the Alliance. By doing so you have a piece of art that you enjoy and will enjoy for a long time to come. You support the artist with your purchase as the price includes the artist's time, talent, and energy to create the piece you enjoy so much. Finally a small portion supports the North Penn Arts Alliance to continue encouraging Artists and Arts Enthusiasts to Learn, Grow, Network and Create in a supportive environment.  At the same time you are supporting a local non-profit organization and a local business.

If you do not find a piece that you really enjoy, contact the North Penn Arts Alliance at 215-393-9110 and ask if the artist is a member and ask to make contact. Or, you can just make a donation to the North Penn Arts Alliance so that they can further the art education programs that they provide in cooperation with the North Penn School District and the Lansdale Borough Parks and Recreation Department. If you would rather learn to create art or know someone that is looking for lessons, our spring semester of classes will be starting in February sign up for a class or register a loved one. A list of classes are found on our website at http://www.northpennarts.org/images/CEPSpring2015.pdf and online registration with the North Penn School district will be starting sometime soon at http://www.northpenncep.org

The Arts have and will always be in need of supporters, not just the artists, but those that enjoy the arts and want to learn how to create something beautiful. Supporting
the Arts within a community have shown that artists tend to stay within a community that supports them. Exhibitions and Arts events draw people to it. Visual arts are not the only Art form that requires support. Performing Arts either Dance, Music or Theatre require support.

Without support the play doesn't go on, the dance ceases, the music doesn't play, and that painting, drawing or sculpture isn't created. So this Holiday Season, please consider supporting the Arts some way some how.


All of us at the North Penn Arts Alliance wish you all the Happiness of the Holiday season and hopes for a Very Artful New Year.
