West Chester

Our West Chester facility is located at the edge of downtown West Chester, on Bradford Avenue/Route 52 at Gay Street.
​A mid-century modern design built in 1953, it houses two formal art galleries, a gift store featuring regional artists’ work, multiple art studios, an outdoor patio and a kitchen area.

One of the benefits of having your event at CCAA is that your guests may view/purchase artwork in the galleries and gift store as well as tour the facility and art studio spaces.

​Although the galleries are not available for rent during the summer months, the outdoor patio and studio spaces are available summer evenings and weekends.
