Why We Do It

​

Graw Alley Art Party reflects Harmer's Town Art Center's mission to Create. Learn. Connect.

​

By providing artists with a welcoming venue to create, demonstrate, perform, and sell their work, we foster meaningful connections between artists and the community while making the arts accessible to everyone.

​

The program supports emerging and established artists, enriches Havre de Grace's Arts & Entertainments District, encourages cultural tourism, and strengthens the local economy.

​

As Harmer's Town Art Center grows into a premier regional arts destination, Graw Alley Art Party will continue to serve as the front porch of our organization - a place where creativity is celebrated, artists thrive, and our community comes together through the arts.
