Who We Are

The Laurel Arts in Motion committee is made of community volunteers whom seek to engage the greater areas involvement with Art and healthy recreation. Laurel Arts, Laurel Hill State Park, Somerset Inc., and The Somerset County Artist’s Association came together in 2016 to create an Art project that is accessible to residents and visitors of Somerset County.

 

What We Do

​A Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance (PRAA) grant has been awarded to fund Laurel Arts in Motion, a project to paint and place bicycles at key locations in our communities. As the bicycles become canvases for art, they represent colorful symbols of fun and fitness that welcome visitors and remind residents to get outdoors and enjoy the scenery. They will emphasize the importance of healthy participation in the arts and recreation.
