The Elk County Council on the Arts is a non-profit sales gallery located in beautiful downtown Ridgway Pennsylvania. We offer a wide variety of affordable items from 50+ local artisans. These items include one of a kind jewelry, pottery, photography, mixed media, painting, wood-turning and much more.
ECCOTA is a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts partner. Through our partnership with the PCA we are able to bring the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts grant program and Arts in Education residencies to our region. We also offer the annual Poetry Out Loud competition to local schools. These programs offer opportunities to engage the public in art, and bring public funds back into this generally under-served area.
Check our calendars! We offer monthly exhibits, classes, and events, and hope to see you at one soon.
Join Potter County artist Catherine Snyder for another basket weaving class!
Saturday, May 4, 9am-2pm at the ECCOTA Gallery, Ridgway
Both beginner and advanced weavers will complete and take home their own Ida style basket! Cathy will walk you step-by-step through the basket-making process from the base up. You can select from either blue, green, smoke/brown, or natural colored reed. Please choose your color when registering.
If class is already sold out please email info@eccota.com to get on the waitlist.
Nature’s Palette is a collection of ceramic wall blooms by artist Lisa Conklin Conn, each representing the colors found in an example of flora or fauna from our region of the Pennsylvania Wilds.
View the exhibition at the Elk County Council on the Arts Gallery beginning April 15 through May 11.
The public is invited to join us for an opening reception on Friday, April 26, 5-8 PM.
Calling all artists! We hold a new artist review three times a year. Find all the details about whether you would be a good fit, and how to apply.
