Heeschen Gallery

The Heeschen Gallery is our venue space for the display and exhibition of various 
media. Multiple shows each year highlight the artwork of local artists. Types of 
displays are: painting, photography, soft sculpture, computer graphic art, 
pottery, weaving
, and more. Ceiling mounted track lighting and pristine white 
backgrounds combine to create an artistic ambiance pleasurable to the most 
discriminating viewer. Stop by the Meadville Council on the Arts for a gallery visit
for each of these gallery exhibitions:

 

Gardner Theater

The Meadville Council on the Arts area contains a very quaint theatre, seen pictured here. 
But you have to actually stand in the theatre to experience the warmth that will surround you. Two 
very old wooden pillars border the stage area, track lighting can transform the theatre atmosphere 
in a variety of ways. Feel free to stop by for a visit. You'll leave with a newfound understanding of 
just how precious this community gem can truly be. 

Dance Studio
The Meadville Council on the Arts facility contains a clean, well lit, spacious
dance studio suitable for yoga, dance, receptions, meetings and other events.
In the picture below some young guitar students share a lighter moment during
their instrumental practice in the dance studio area.
