Where Creativity Brings Us Together
About Allen Arts Alliance
The Allen Arts Alliance began as a city advisory board in 1998 to support arts and culture in Allen. In 2006, the Arts Alliance became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that serves as the umbrella organization for the arts and cultural organizations in the Allen community.
Allen Arts Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advocating for accessible arts education opportunities, support local cultural arts organizations and cultivate a vibrant arts culture locally. We believe that the arts are vital for enriching lives and strengthening community ties right here in our city and all throughout the North Texas area.
