Heart of the Northshore

The St. Tammany Art Association was founded in 1958 by a small group of civic-minded individuals dedicated to bringing art to western St. Tammany Parish. Today the Art Association is an organization with over 800 members that has served as a catalyst for the arts. The organization has grown into a new building in downtown Covington to further serve the needs of emerging and established artists, and to provide arts education and exhibitions to the community.

STAA is supported by the Louisiana Division of the Arts, the Office of
Cultural Development, and the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism
in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council as administered by the
St. Tammany Art Commission.

The Office Manager and Gallery Attendants are available Monday through Saturday to answer questions about classes, exhibitions, reserving space, or becoming a member of STAA.
