OUR HISTORY
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. A very generous contribution from Mrs. Powell in 1999 gave us our building at 601 Tower Square Plaza in Marion Illinois. We have since grown into an organization dedicated to teaching, showing and promoting the arts in Southern Illinois. LEAA is 501c3 not for profit art organization partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Council of the Arts, a State Agency and the National Endowment for the Arts.
