Allens Lane Art Center

Mt. Airy's Neighborhood Arts Center for Kids

Allens Lane Art Center is a small, community-rooted arts center on Allens Lane in Mt. Airy. It combines visual art classes, theater productions, and adult programming under one roof, giving kids a local arts hub separate from Center City institutions.

Classes and Programs

Age-banded offerings plus a dedicated theater program. Options include:
- Youth art classes for ages 5-12
- Separate teen and adult art class tracks
- "Live at the Lane" theater program with mainstage productions
- Reader's Theater program

What's Included

• Small-group instruction from local teaching artists
• On-site performance space for theater productions
• Full session catalog at canvas.allenslane.org/classes
• Community-driven programming with rotating seasonal offerings

Experience

A neighborhood alternative to the big Philadelphia art institutions - particularly popular with Mt. Airy, Chestnut Hill, and West Oak Lane families who want walkable weekend art classes. The integrated theater program means a kid can rotate between visual art one term and a stage production the next.
