When we opened Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center in 1994, we never envisioned what a monumental change we were making in our own lives, as well as our community. We grew from just a small front room in our location at 301 West Main Street to building an addition in 2014, which included our current showroom and fully accessible art center.
Over the years, we've experienced first hand the unitive quality of art. Our gallery has brought together artists from across the nation, as well as locals from Ligonier, Latrobe, and beyond into a beautiful showcase of American talent. Our Art Center inspires every participant to explore their creative side! And our customers continue to be moved by the beauty and quality of the treasures they find for themselves and others.
We'd like to thank our participating artists for sharing their work with us, and our teaching artists for sharing their skills with our students. We'd also especially like to thank our customers for their steadfast support and continual patronage of our gallery. It's our regulars who keep us and our artists going!
The past 30 years have been an incredible journey. Here's to many more!
THANK YOU!

And the Winner Is...
Congratulations to Gwen Korvick, a Pittsburgh Potter, on winning the People's Choice Award for our "30th Anniversary Celebration of Art!" for her piece "Soar." Gwen received a certificate and a $200 gift card to Main Exhibit Gallery & Art Center.
We had a 3-way tie for runner-up! In no particular order, Pamela Cooper (Greensburg) for her piece "Indian Summer," Sue Pollins (Greensburg) for her piece "Another Dimension II," and Maura Koehler Keeney for her piece "Radiant Display." Although we did not offer a second place award for this exhibition, these artists deserve to be mentioned!
