The communities of West Liberty, Nichols, and Atalissa are fortunate to have the West Liberty Area Arts Council (WLAAC) as an outlet for arts, culture, and humanities. WLAAC is committed to developing, enhancing, and promoting art appreciation, awareness and action for the benefit of West Liberty and the surrounding areas.
WLACC offers a host of programming that includes many events throughout the year such as live stage performances, an outdoor concert series, community art outreach opportunities, a plein air painting competition and a variety of classes. Whether you are an avid art lover, want to support tourism and the local economy, or would like to display and/or sell your art at the gallery– WE NEED YOUR MEMBERSHIP. Please consider joining or renewing your WLAAC membership today to help support this mission.
A regular annual calendar year membership is $30 and a family membership is $50. Mail your check to WLAAC, P.O. Box 390, West Liberty, IA 52776
