To promote, encourage and advance the dissemination, appreciation and participation in the arts.

For over 30 years the Lapeer Art Association has held a commitment to enhancing the cultural life of the Lapeer community. Through our gallery exhibits, participation in community events such as Lapeer Days, the Farmer’s Market, the “Just for You” exposition and holding art fairs and sales, the Lapeer Art Association is a primary connection to applied fine arts in this community.

The Lapeer Art Association, incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1975, was founded by local artists who were involved with the 1972 Art rain visit to Lapeer. The Lapeer Art Association has made a serious commitment to enhance the cultural life of this area by promoting, cultivating and encouraging art education opportunities.

In July 1995, the Lapeer Art Association purchased a building at 241 Daley Rd. in Lapeer. For ten years this served as a gallery with free shows available for the public and as a classroom for various art related classes.

The Lapeer Art Association’s goal is to encourage and help new artists, bring artists together, promote the fine arts and provide opportunities in the community to be involved in the arts. In an effort to support and serve local artists, the Lapeer Art Association encourages and welcomes ALL artists, both amateur and professional in all areas of fine arts and crafts.
