Laurel Arts fosters and presents visual and performing arts at schools, youth and senior centers, theaters and our own galleries for enlightenment, education and rehabilitation. Laurel Arts maintains offices, galleries and workshops in a historic farmhouse, and dance studios in part of a former J.C. Penney store in uptown Somerset.
The organization works with all 11 school districts to provide cultural programs, workshops, artists in residence, etc. It also works with Special Olympics, the Children's Aid Home and other agencies that serve people with special needs, to use the arts to promote well-being. Laurel Arts is home to 14 affiliates.
Laurel Arts operates on a $450,000 budget. It receives most of its support from those who use its services, but it also depends on contributions from sustaining members and, to a lesser extent, from grants. The non-profit organization meets all state and federal requirements. A copy of its budget, audit or other financial documents is available on request.
