See a Show... Take a Class... Explore the Arts...

The LPCA is a dedicated and dynamic home for the arts. Since March, we have adapted to provide arts experiences in new and different ways, bringing you a creative outlet when it is needed most, no matter where you are. Though some programs remain closed as we prioritize the health and safety of our visitors during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are offering a variety of virtual and in-person experiences. From online classes to in-person dance instruction, or the chance to view artwork by local artists in our two galleries - we can’t wait to see you on campus or over Zoom!
