Scranton Area Foundation & PPA Arts Program

The Scranton Area Foundation is one of 16 regional organizations that have been selected by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) to facilitate the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) Program. This process will increase awareness of and support for the arts in currently underserved areas of Pennsylvania. The Scranton Area Foundation is honored to work in partnership with the state to expand access to the arts in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties and to encourage and support local decision-making and re-granting of state dollars. 2010 marks the tenth year of the project, which is funded in part by a grant from the Scranton Area Foundation.
