Celebrating Public Art in Armstrong County
In August, the Kittanning Public Library unveiled a brand-new public art installation—a creative, interactive piece designed to spark imagination and invite children to explore art in their own community. This project is a shining example of how art can transform public spaces and inspire all who visit.
The Armstrong County Arts Council applauds the library’s vision and dedication to bringing public art to life. Projects like this not only brighten our shared spaces, but also reflect the vibrant creativity found right here in Armstrong County. We’re proud to support initiatives that bring people together, inspire curiosity, and celebrate the arts.

The Armstrong County Arts Council is pleased to present two new awards during the annual Covenant Center Art Show, held in conjunction with the Fort Armstrong Folk Festival. This year’s honors—Best Animal Photo and Best Armstrong County History—celebrate outstanding local talent. Congratulations to the winning artists, whose work is featured below!
