The Johnson Center for the Arts is housed in a historic treasure: it started as a 1910 classical-revival style post office located in downtown Troy, Alabama.

The government facility remained in service until 1980, but it sat empty until 2000. That same year, the Troy-Pike Cultural Arts Center Board of Directors was formed. Fearing the structure's impending demolition, the Board purchased the handsome structure in order to preserve it and create the only cultural arts center in Pike County.

Founded as a 501(c)(3) corporation to advance cultural arts and to provide county-wide art education opportunities, the Johnson Center for the Arts is home to seven galleries including the 1400 square foot, two-story main gallery.

Admission is free to the general public. We depend on memberships and donations in order to continue our support of local artists and to provide quality educational programming.
