The Pocono Center for the Arts was born from a bold vision, one that says art belongs here, in the heart of our community. For years, the Pocono region has dreamed of having a dedicated space where artists, performers, educators, and neighbors can come together to connect, create, and thrive. That dream is no longer just a vision, it’s happening now, and we invite you to be a part of it.

A Creative Hub for Everyone

Led by a group of passionate, lifelong arts advocates, our founders have poured their hearts into making this center a reality. With decades of combined experience in theater, music, visual arts, and education, they’re building more than just a building they’re creating a beacon of creativity for generations to come.

Located right on Main Street in downtown Stroudsburg, our future home will be a lively, welcoming space designed to spark imagination and foster collaboration across all ages and backgrounds. Here’s a taste of what’s to come:

• Theater performances & rehearsals that bring stories to life on stage

• Rotating art exhibitions & gallery showcases that spotlight local and regional talent

• Hands-on creative workshops & classes for artists of all skill levels

• Community events, cultural celebrations, and pop-up performances that energize the town

Whether you’re a seasoned performer, a curious student, an emerging artist, or an arts-loving neighbor, there will be something for you here.

A New Chapter Begins

After years of dreaming, planning, and a global pause during the pandemic, we’ve officially secured our future home and we’re rolling up our sleeves to build something truly special. This is more than a center; it’s a movement, and it’s just getting started.

A Nonprofit with Heart

We’re proud to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, fueled by community support and the belief that the arts have the power to transform lives. Every donation helps us fund performances, pay artists, build out our space, and offer accessible programming for all. When you support us, you’re not just backing a project you’re helping to shape the creative soul of the Poconos.
