​

A 501(c)3 non-profit incorporated in Pennsylvania, The Exchange takes as its mission bringing the arts to all communities throughout our region.  We have one full-time employee, three part-time employees, and a steadfast crew of volunteers, including our board of directors, who along with artists, musicians, donors, and all of the people with whom we interact over the course of a year make The Exchange a vibrant and essential part of the central Susquehanna Valley's arts and culture scene.

The Exchange Gallery, operating year-'round at 24 East Main Street in downtown Bloomsburg, serves as the heart of what we do: Since early 2014 and as of the spring of 2025, we have hosted about 90 exhibitions, most of them open to artists of all ages and levels of experience; we have displayed 2-D and 3-D art by close to 1,000 people -- everyone from Bloomsburg University art professors and their students to professional and amateur artists who have shown in our region for decades to preschool children and others of all ages sharing their creativity publicly for the very first time anywhere.

For our other programs, which include the Art Cart, the Listening RoomArtFestArtOfPA.org, and more, please visit ExchangeArts.org.  When you have questions, please get in touch with us through the Contact page or calling or e-mailing us.  We look forward to meeting you and having you involved here!
