    Welcome To Circle Centre for the Arts

    We are an organization that promotes fellowship among artists, provides an outlet for artistic talent, sponsors programs of both local and out-of-town artists, and fosters an interest in art within the Greater Wyoming Valley and its environs.

    The Wyoming Valley Art League at the Circle Centre for the Arts is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community wide arts organization committed to promoting the arts in the Wyoming Valley region. The WVAL was formed in order to create a space for artists to explore, create, and exchange ideas as well as foster community engagement
    through the arts.

    Celebrate the Arts

    Arts are integral to the quality of life in our region. The arts create positive impacts in our communities by bringing opportunities for engagement, education and enrichment. Our focus is to bring this awareness to our members and the community at large. Our success is in part due to our members who help make this possible!

    Sandra Dyczewski Maffei Gallery

    Our first floor gallery is dedicated to highlighting professional guest artists from our region and beyond. Exhibits feature solo and group exhibitions that help serve as a teaching tool to our member artists who aspire to become professional practicing artists. These exhibits are free and open to the public. Openings for these receptions are part of our Third Friday events.

    Members Gallery

    Our second floor gallery is our members gallery which hosts all member exhibits. Each month (except juried exhibits in fall and spring) members may submit work to exhibit in a group show format for all of our Third Friday receptions. The members gallery is also used for performances and can be rented as an event space for groups or other outside organizations.
