Backround image - Earth Coatesville Area Arts Alliance

Welcome to eARTh!

What is eARTh? It is the headquarters of the grassroots nonprofit organization Coatesville Area Arts Alliance (C3A) in Wagontown, western Chester County, and the studio/home of C3A co-founders Greg Layton and Deborah Kates. Think of it as "(e)verybody's ART (h)ome" and "the country club for the rest of us." C3A showcases and promotes The Arts because Art Means Business and is a key to economic growth. What do we mean by "The Arts?" From painting, writing and dance to gardening, music and cooking, and so much more. There's always something germinating at eARTh so get grounded! Come explore by appointment or attend an event here.
