Sweetwater

Creativity flows. It is supple and dynamic, kinetic and elastic. It flows as paint takes shape on canvas and as clay finds form on the wheel. It flows gracefully through limbs moving on the dance floor and powerfully from actors speaking on the stage. It flows through young and old in equal measure. For creation is not limited by age but allows creators of any age to test and exceed their limits. Yes, creativity flows. And it flows deeply and swiftly at Sweetwater® Center for the Arts.

Sweetwater® Center for the Arts is located at 200 Broad Street, Sewickley, PA 15143
