Become A Keystone Artist

Welcome to the Keystone Arts Collective. We are a group of local, independent, volunteer artists working to provide opportunities for education, exposure and experience to other local, independent artists creating original artwork. We have a variety of locations throughout NEPA in the Lehigh Valley and Pocono area available to display artist works and rotate submissions on a quarterly basis. You can see more on exhibits and locations HERE. We also organize grooup and individual exhibitions and provide artists opportunities to grow skills and community to promote their work in this evolving market. We welcome artists of all backgrounds and skill levels with the philosophy of learning from one another.
