Our Mission:

 

The Carnegie Arts Center provides quality fine arts instruction, and

exhibitions and performance opportunities as a community benefit

organization.  The Carnegie Arts Center offers professionals in the

arts a place in which to teach, exhibit, perform and share their talents

and understanding of the arts.



Our History:


By the 1980s, the Leavenworth Public Library had grown too large for its

original building on the corner of 5th and Walnut.  In 1985 the library

moved to its current location on Spruce.  The building sat empty for the

next two years until two Leavenworth artists, Rebecca Johnson and

Mary Ellen Maxwell, transformed it into the Carnegie Arts Center.


For over twenty years the Carnegie Arts Center has been serving the

Leavenworth community and its outlying areas, bringing the citizens

quality fine arts education and artistic opportunities.  The Carnegie Arts

Center offers a variety of art, music, dance, and drama classes for both

children and adults.



Our Location:


The Carnegie Arts Center is located in a beautiful historic building just

a few blocks away from downtown Leavenworth.


     601 South 5th Street
