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 accessible 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

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.
