Dormont Arts is a 509(a)(2) (purely public charity) based in Dormont, PA. We engage and unite the community by cultivating creative experiences of art, nature and music. What began in 2021 as neighbors connecting through music has grown into a thriving organization that now hosts festivals, performances, workshops, and community programs fostering creativity, inclusivity, and connection.
Building The Community We All Need
What Is Dormont Arts?
What Do We Do?
Each year, Dormont Arts engages more than 3,500 residents through events and programs that celebrate the arts in all its forms. From our annual Art in the Park outdoor festival to the live music and storytelling of our Songs and Stories series, the cultivation of the Dormont Community Garden, and our fiber arts and photo clubs, we make art accessible, community-oriented, and fun for everyone in Dormont.
