Thank you for Twenty successful years of Art Exhibitions, Theatrical Productions, Musical Performances and Classes in various forms of the Arts, along with all of the community activities in which we have participated.
Thank you all for participating with Alcott’s growth over the last twenty-one years. We will continue working with our hometown artists in the future and want to grow the organization as we get ready for our building’s ONE HUNDREDTH birthday in 2023. Programming will continue as we restore the ole school building to it’s splendor.
The Alcott Neighborhood started the arts center to save and restore the old Alcott grade school building as well as make a positive impact on area children and adults alike - inner city people who wanted an artistic leg up. We are in need of helpful people to step up and help the Alcott grow, renovate our historic landmark, and bring more artistic opportunities to everyone!
Alcott is at a point of change for the better. The organization has developed a great program of arts for the last twenty years - now let’s look forward to the next twenty!

We are formally known as the L. M. Alcott Art Center Foundation and we are an all Volunteer organization. For the last 21 years the LMAACF has offered Incubation space for developing performance groups, Theatrical Productions, Art Exhibitions, Art Classes of many different types and several forms of theatrical training. We have provided opportunities for first time directors to direct semi-professional plays, allowing a nurturing environment for incubation of developing associate member groups that use the Alcott facilities for rehearsal space, theatre productions and fundraisers.
The Foundation’s goal is to provide Artistic opportunities. This has proven to be something we do very well. The facility has seen participation of artists from a larger than anticipated geographical area. Turning into a regional Arts environment within the first two years of our twenty year stint. People really love the old school feel, tall ceilings, wood floors and steam radiators. Some have likened the rehearsal space and Art Galleries to New York style studios.
Alcott functions under the “Everything Positive-Nothing Negative” Motto. We have never depended on grants ( but have greatly appreciated the ones that we have received) to sustain our existence and have to look to the positive things in order to persevere to provide programming and events that uplift others.
