THE CENTER

When I lived in Portland, artists would move to impoverished areas and revitalize them by building art in the community and making it an area where people would want to be and live. That is how I feel that art can help towns like Albion or any place that’s struggling through affordability and desirability.”
- Casey Merrild, Potter
Stop by, explore, and experience the many things happening at the Albion Arts Center, a place where arts, culture, and community history paint a vibrant new chapter for Albion.
To help ensure its health and longevity we encourage you to volunteer or donate. It’s the best way to ensure the arts remain vibrant, accessible, and transformative for everyone in our community.

The Albion Arts Center embraces a wide open, inviting space featuring traditional and contemporary mediums and exhibits throughout the year. The Center also features a new pottery studio complete with a gas salt kiln, electric kilns and pottery wheels. The long-time vision for an arts center in Albion, the history of the building, and the passion of the artists all weave an amazing story that adds a very intimate feeling to the gallery.
