Clinton County Arts Council

Lock Haven, PA

A small river city with big arts energy

Our Mission: Promote, develop, and support the arts in Clinton County by raising awareness, supporting artists and organizations, increasing cultural tourism, and serving as a central hub for information and collaboration in the local arts scene.

At the heart of the council’s work is The Station Gallery at 2 East Bald Eagle Street in downtown Lock Haven—a relocated 19th‑century train station turned vibrant gallery and gathering space. From here, the Clinton County Arts Council (CCAC) fills the year with exhibitions, concerts, workshops, and festivals that keep creativity woven into everyday life along the West Branch Susquehanna.

Whether you step into The Station Gallery for an opening reception, stroll through LH JAMS on a summer evening, or follow a student’s journey from school stage to downtown festival, the Clinton County Arts Council makes it clear that in Lock Haven, the arts aren’t an afterthought—they’re a centerpiece of community life.

Flagship programs:

LH JAMS Music & Arts Festival: a three‑day music and arts festival that turns Lock Haven’s Main Street and riverfront into a regional destination for live bands, art vendors, food, and family activities Learn more here

The Station Gallery: provides a venue for artists and lovers of all the arts to come together Learn more here

Workshops, talks, and trips: programs at The Station Gallery include art workshops for adults and kids, demonstrations, artist talks, and occasional museum trips, giving residents a chance to learn new skills and connect with working artists in an informal setting Learn more here

Community impact:

From a historic train station turned gallery to a Main Street music festival that fills the downtown with sound, the Clinton County Arts Council:

  • Provides a year‑round venue where artists and art lovers regularly meet in person.

  • Helps small, rural communities host high‑quality arts experiences without leaving the county.

  • Builds pathways for local students—from jazz ensembles opening LH JAMS to scholarship recipients headed into creative careers.
