Founded in 1931, the Chester County Art Association (CCAA) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to educating, inspiring, and connecting the people of Chester County to and through the arts. As a non-profit arts center, we believe that art positively impacts everyone; we help develop individual abilities, foster art appreciation, and create a sense of artistic community.

​Fine arts/fine crafts classes and workshops teach fundamental concepts as well as advanced techniques. Art exhibitions, events, lectures, and artist talks provide learning opportunities and creative dialogue in welcoming spaces. Our continually expanding art programs for all ages include oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, figure drawing, sculpture, ceramics photography, digital art, printmaking, mixed media, fiber arts, and jewelry.
