HISTORY Of LEAA

Little Egypt Arts Association is a not for profit artist Co-op that was established in 1995 by approximately 20 local artists and art patrons. At first we didn't have a building until the very generous contribution of Mrs. Powell in 1999. Once we had our own building at 601 Tower Square Plaza in Marion Illinois, we grew into a very dynamic teaching and showing facility in Southern Illinois for the visual arts. LEAA is 501c3 not for profit art organization dedicated to teaching, showing and promoting the arts. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Council of the Arts, a state agency.
