About us
Since 1966 The Foley Art Center has served the Gulf Coast area with our Cultural Enrichment Programs in the local schools, Grants to Art teachers of area schools for ages 4-18 and art classes for children and adults. From the dreams of fifteen local citizens, it has become a vital force in the Cultural Development of Baldwin County.
The proceeds from our Art Center consignment sales, membership dues and projects allow us to implement our Cultural Enrichment Programs in the local schools. This has continued to be the main focus of the Foley Art Center. We sponsor outstanding performances and special events in the Foley area to eleven schools with over 5,000 students. This is in addition to our Art Grants Program to local Art Teachers at our area schools.
