About Us

Provo Girls Summit Art-0011.jpg

Neighborhood Art Center is a place where the community can gather to appreciate, experience, and create art.

 

Our Story

In March 2017, our founder Tallia Feltis identified a need for an accessible and creative community space. Tallia quickly started developing the Neighborhood Art Center (a 501c3 non-profit organization) concept, repurposed a former mall portrait studio, and opened doors later that summer.

Since then, we have welcomed over a thousand children and their families to the Neighborhood Art Center studio and at offsite community events (including Art in the Park, Downtown Provo Art Stroll, and Tiny Art Show).

Our Mission

Make art accesible to the children and families of Utah County.

Our Values

  • To create a welcoming space where children are free to create and explore
  • Provide high quality, process based, arts education to children and adults in our community
  • Inspire a lifelong love of art, creativity, and learning

Executive Director

Tallia Feltis

Tallia is the founder and director of Neighborhood Art Center. Her passion for kids’ art spaces really took flight when she and her two children started exploring children’s museums around the country. In Tallia’s travels, she frequently takes note of interesting new projects to incorporate into our studio at NAC. She believes that art education and experiences are an integral part of human development.

Board Members

Keera McClellan
Board Chair

Keera is a mother of four children, and loves being the house where kids like to congregate. She loves being involved in her neighborhood, and worked to help update the mural in Maeser Park — a park that is often overlooked. Keera has been on the board since the Neighborhood Art Center opened because she truly believes in its mission and what it means to our community.

Eden Wen

Eden is a parent, a product designer, and a reader. She started taking her child to NAC as a place to get messy with art, and now she’s excited to be giving back. She also volunteers as a CASA (court-appointed special advocate) to help foster kids have a voice in court.
